Abstract
A command queue is configured to receive a command from a software application. A configuration storage is configured to store a plurality of configurations. A matrix multiplication unit is configured to perform matrix multiplication operations. Memory is configured to store matrices. A control engine is configured to retrieve the command from the command queue; retrieve a configuration from the configuration storage based on the command; generate, based on the command and the configuration, instructions for the matrix multiplication unit to perform a set of matrix multiplication operations on first and second matrices stored in the memory; send the instructions to the matrix multiplication unit to configure the matrix multiplication unit to output results of the set of matrix multiplication operations; and store the results in a third matrix in the memory.
