Abstract
A programmable hardware system for machine learning (ML) includes a core and a streaming engine. The core receives a plurality of commands and a plurality of data from a host to be analyzed and inferred via machine learning. The core transmits a first subset of commands of the plurality of commands that is performance-critical operations and associated data thereof of the plurality of data for efficient processing thereof. The first subset of commands and the associated data are passed through via a function call. The streaming engine is coupled to the core and receives the first subset of commands and the associated data from the core. The streaming engine streams a second subset of commands of the first subset of commands and its associated data to an inference engine by executing a single instruction.
