Abstract
A processor sequences the application of submatrices at a matrix multiplier to reduce the number of input changes at an input register of the matrix multiplier. The matrix multiplier is configured to perform a matrix multiplication for a relatively small matrix. To multiply two larger matrices the GPU decomposes the larger matrices into smaller submatrices and stores the submatrices at input registers of the matrix multiplier in a sequence, thereby calculating each column of a result matrix. The GPU sequences the storage of the submatrices at the input registers to maintain input data at one of the input registers over multiple calculation cycles of the matrix multiplier thereby reducing power consumption at the GPU.
