Neural network hardware acceleration data parallelism is performed by an integrated circuit including a plurality of memory banks, each memory bank among the plurality of memory banks configured to store values and to transmit stored values, a plurality of computation units, each computation unit among the plurality of computation units including one of a channel pipeline and a multiply-and-accumulate (MAC) element configured to perform a mathematical operation on an input data value and a weight value to produce a resultant data value, and a computation controller configured to cause a value transmission to be received by more than one computation unit or memory bank.

Neural network hardware accelerator data parallelism

Sequence partition based schedule optimization is performed by generating a sequence and a schedule based on the sequence, dividing the sequence into a plurality of sequence partitions based on the schedule and the data dependency graph, each sequence partition including a portion of the plurality of instructions and a portion of the plurality of buffers, performing, for each sequence partition, a plurality of partition optimizing iterations, and merging the plurality of sequence partitions to produce a merged schedule.
