A technique for manipulating a generic tensor is provided. The technique includes receiving a first request to perform a first operation on a generic tensor descriptor associated with the generic tensor, responsive to the first request, performing the first operation on the generic tensor descriptor, receiving a second request to perform a second operation on generic tensor raw data associated with the generic tensor, and responsive to the second request, performing the second operation on the generic tensor raw data, the performing the second operation including mapping a tensor coordinate specified by the second request to a memory address, the mapping including evaluating a delta function to determine an address delta value to add to a previously determined address for a previously processed tensor coordinate.

Composable neural network kernels

Block data load with transpose techniques are described. In one example, an input is received, at a control unit, specifying an instruction to load a block of data to at least one memory module using a transpose operation. Responsive to the receiving the input by the control unit, the block of data is caused to be loaded to the at least one memory module by transposing the block of data to form a transposed block of data and storing the transposed block of data in the at least one memory.

Block data load with transpose into memory

A technique for manipulating a generic tensor is provided. The technique includes receiving a first request to perform a first operation on a generic tensor descriptor associated with the generic tensor, responsive to the first request, performing the first operation on the generic tensor descriptor, receiving a second request to perform a second operation on generic tensor raw data associated with the generic tensor, and responsive to the second request, performing the second operation on the generic tensor raw data.
