Abstract
Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed that increase data reuse for multiply and accumulate (MAC) operations. An example apparatus includes a MAC circuit to process a first context of a set of a first type of contexts stored in a first buffer and a first context of a set of a second type of contexts stored in a second buffer. The example apparatus also includes control logic circuitry to, in response to determining that there is an additional context of the second type to be processed in the set of the second type of contexts, maintain the first context of the first type in the first buffer. The control logic circuitry is also to, in response to determining that there is an additional context of the first type to be processed in the set of the first type of contexts maintain the first context of the second type in the second buffer and iterate a pointer of the second buffer from a first position to a next position in the second buffer.
