Abstract
A matrix computation unit includes a systolic array of cells arranged along a first and second dimension, in which the systolic array of cells includes a first multiple of cells, each cell of the first multiple of cells including: a weight register configured to store a weight input; multiple activation registers, each activation register of the multiple activation registers configured to store a corresponding activation input; multiplexer circuitry communicatively coupled to the multiple activation registers and configured to select, from the multiple activation registers, one of the activation inputs as a selected activation input; and multiplication circuitry communicatively coupled to the weight register and to the multiplexer, in which the multiplication circuitry is configured to output a product of the weight input and the selected activation input.
