Described examples include an integrated circuit including a vector multiply unit including a plurality of multiply/accumulate nodes, in which the vector multiply unit is operable to provide an output from the multiply/accumulate nodes, a first data feeder operable to provide first data to the vector multiply unit in vector format, and a second data feeder operable to provide second data to the vector multiply unit in vector format.

Methods and apparatus for matrix processing in a convolutional neural network

A method and system for dynamically transferring graphical image processing operations from a graphical processing unit (GPU) to a digital signal processor (DSP). The method includes estimating the number of operations needed for the processing a set of image data; determining the operational limits of a GPU and compare with estimated number of operations and if the operational limits are exceeded; transfer the processing operations to the DSP from the GPU. The transfer can include transferring a portion of executable code for performing the processing operations, and generating a replacement code for the GPU. The DSP can then process a portion of the image data before sending it to the GPU for further processing.
