    Abstract: An apparatus includes an in-memory compute circuit that includes a memory circuit configured to generate a set of products by combining received input values with respective weight values stored in rows of the memory circuit, and to combine the set of products to generate an accumulated output value. The in-memory compute circuit may further include a control circuit and a plurality of routing circuits, including a first routing circuit coupled to a first set of rows of the memory circuit. The control circuit may be configured to cause the first routing circuit to route groups of input values to different ones of the first set of rows over a plurality of clock cycles, and the memory circuit to generate, on a clock cycle following the plurality of clock cycles, a particular accumulated output value that is computed based on the routed groups of input values.

    Abstract: A tracked device may be used in an extended reality system in coordination with a tracking device. The tracked device may be ordinarily difficult to track, for example due to changing appearances or relatively small surface areas of unchanging features, as may be the case with an electronic device with a relatively large display surrounded by a thin physical outer boundary. In these cases, the tracked device may periodically present an image to the tracking device that the tracking device stores as an indication to permit tracking of a known, unchanging feature despite the image not being presented continuously on the display of the tracked device. The image may include a static image, designated tracking data overlaid on an image frame otherwise scheduled for presentation, or extracted image features from the image frame otherwise scheduled for presentation. Additional power saving methods and known marker generation methods are also described.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to an unaligned memory access in a neural processor circuit. The neural processor circuit includes a crossbar circuit and a neural engine circuit coupled to the crossbar circuit. During each operating cycle of the neural processor circuit, the crossbar circuit receives a portion of input data, and re-aligns or bypasses the portion of input data. The neural engine circuit receives at least a portion of the re-aligned or bypassed portion of the input data, and performs a convolution operation on the received portion of re-aligned or bypassed portion of input data to generate output data.

    Abstract: In an embodiment, a local memory dedicated to one or more hardware accelerators in a system may include at least two portions: a volatile portion and a non-volatile portion. Data that is reused from iteration to iteration of the hardware accelerator (e.g. constants, instruction words, etc.) may be stored in the non-volatile portion. Data that varies from iteration to iteration may be stored in the volatile portion. Both the local memory and the hardware accelerators may be powered down between iterations, saving power. The non-volatile portion need only be initialized at a first iteration, allowing the amount of time that the hardware accelerators and the local memory are powered up to be lessened for subsequent iterations since the reused data need not be reloaded in the subsequent iterations.
