Abstract:
An apparatus includes a memory and a processor. The memory may be configured to store a directed acyclic graph. The processor may be configured to (i) receive a command to run the directed acyclic graph, (ii) parse the directed acyclic graph into a data flow including one or more operators, (iii) schedule the operators in one or more data paths, and (iv) generate one or more output vectors by processing one or more input vectors in the data paths. The processor generally comprises a plurality of hardware engines. The data paths may be implemented with the hardware engines. The hardware engines may operate in parallel to each other.
