Abstract
A hardware accelerator having an efficient instruction set is disclosed. An apparatus may comprise logic configured to access a first and a second machine instruction. The second machine instruction may be missing a tensor operand needed to execute the second machine instruction. The logic may be further configured to execute the first machine instruction, resulting in a tensor. The logic may be further configured to execute the second machine instruction using the resultant tensor as the missing tensor operand.
