Abstract
A method includes receiving a set of data. The set of data is divided into a plurality of data portions. The method includes transmitting the plurality of data portions to a plurality of processing tiles, wherein each data portion of the plurality of data portions is associated with a processing tile of a plurality of tiles. Each processing tile of the plurality of tiles performs at least one local operation on its respective data portion to form a local result. The method includes exchanging local results between the plurality of processing tiles. Moreover, the method includes calculating a global value based on the local results. The method further includes performing at least one local operation by each processing tile of the plurality of tiles on its respective data portion based on the global value to form a computed result.
