Abstract

A processing system includes a compiler that automatically identifies sequences of instructions of tileable source code that can be replaced with tensor operations. The compiler generates enhanced code that replaces the identified sequences of instructions with tensor operations that invoke a special-purpose hardware accelerator. By automatically replacing instructions with tensor operations that invoke the special-purpose hardware accelerator, the compiler makes the performance improvements achievable through the special-purpose hardware accelerator available to programmers using high-level programming languages.
