Abstract
An exemplary artificial intelligence/machine learning hardware computing environment having an exemplary DNN module cooperating with one or more memory components can perform data sharing and distribution as well reuse of a buffer data to reduce the number of memory component read/writes thereby enhancing overall hardware performance and reducing power consumption. Illustratively, data from a cooperating memory component is read according to a selected operation of the exemplary hardware and written to corresponding other memory component for use by one or more processing elements (e.g., neurons). The data is read in such a manner to optimize the engagement of the one or more processing elements for each processing cycle as well as to reuse data previously stored in the one or more cooperating memory components. Operatively, the written data is copied to a shadow memory buffer prior to being consumed by the processing elements.
