Abstract
Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to perform machine-learning model operations on sparse accelerators. An example apparatus includes first circuitry, second circuitry to generate sparsity data based on an acceleration operation, and third circuitry to instruct one or more data buffers to provide at least one of activation data or weight data based on the sparsity data to the first circuitry, the first circuitry to execute the acceleration operation based on the at least one of the activation data or the weight data.
