Abstract
An apparatus may comprise a multi-dimensional memory, a plurality of matrix processors, and a matrix routine memory. The matrix routine memory may store a plurality of programmable matrix routines, wherein each programmable matrix routine comprises a plurality of instructions associated with a particular matrix operation, wherein the plurality of instructions is to be executed by the plurality of matrix processors. Further, the plurality of matrix processors may be configured to: receive a command to perform a matrix operation; receive matrix data from the multi-dimensional memory; extract one or more matrix operands from the matrix data; identify a programmable matrix routine associated with the matrix operation; receive the programmable matrix routine from the matrix routine memory; execute the programmable matrix routine using the one or more matrix operands; and obtain a result of the matrix operation based on execution of the programmable matrix routine.
