Abstract
There is provided a data processing apparatus to perform an operation on a first matrix and a second matrix. The data processing apparatus includes receiver circuitry to receive elements of the first matrix, elements of the second matrix, and correspondence data to indicate where the elements of the first matrix are located in the first matrix. Determination circuitry performs, using the correspondence data, a determination of whether, for a given element of the first matrix in column i of the first matrix, a given element of the second matrix occurs in row i of the second matrix. Aggregation circuitry calculates an aggregation between a given row in the first matrix and a given column in the second matrix and includes: functional circuitry to perform, in dependence on the determination, a function on the given element of the first matrix and the given element of the second matrix to produce a partial result.
