Embodiments of serial neural network configuration and processing via a common serial bus are disclosed. In some embodiments, the input data and source identification data is sent to nodes of the neural network serially. The nodes can determine whether the source identification data matches with an address for the node. If the address matches, the node can store the input data in its register for further processing. In some embodiments, the serial neural network engine can include a common serial bus that can broadcast data across multiple processor chips or cores.

Neural network engine utilizing a serial bus

In one embodiment, an apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a first interface configured to communicate with a computing device. The apparatus also includes a second interface configured to communicate with a data storage device. The apparatus further includes a processing device coupled to the first interface and the second interface. The processing device is configured to receive, from the computing device via the first interface, a request to measure a set of performance metrics for the data storage device. The processing device is also configured to identify a set of commands used to measure the set of performance metrics for the data storage device. The processing device is further configured to determine whether the set of commands has been performed by the data storage device. The processing device is further configured to determine the set of performance metrics based on a set of results for the set of commands in response to determining that the set of commands has been performed by the data storage device. The processing device is further configured to transmit the set of performance metrics to the computing device.
