Abstract:
Computational apparatus includes a memory, which is configured to contain multiple matrices of input data values. An array of processing elements is configured to perform multiplications of respective first and second input operands and to accumulate products of the multiplication to generate respective output values. Data access logic is configured to select from the memory a plurality of mutually-disjoint first matrices and a second matrix, and to distribute to the processing elements the input data values in a sequence that is interleaved among the first matrices, along with corresponding input data values from the second matrix, so as to cause the processing elements to compute, in the interleaved sequence, respective convolutions of each of the first matrices with the second matrix.
