Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a method for controlling execution of a GEMM operation on an accelerator comprising multiple computation units, a first memory device, and a second memory device. The method comprises determining an execution manner of the GEMM operation, the execution manner comprising partition information of the GEMM operation and computation unit allocation information of the partitioned GEMM operation; generating one or more instructions to compute the partitioned GEMM operation on one or more allocated computation units; and issuing the one or more instructions to at least one of a first queue and a second queue, which enables at least one of a first local controller and a second local controller to execute the one or more instructions, wherein the first local controller and the second local controller are configured to control data movement between the computation units, the first memory device, and the second memory device.
