Abstract
A method of performing computations of a neural network is disclosed comprising assigning a first processing unit to perform computations of a first node of a first layer of the neural network and assigning a second processing unit to perform computations of a second node of a second layer of the neural network. Computations of the first node are performed using the first processing unit to generate a first activation output that is transmitted to a first output systolic element of the first processing unit. The first activation output is systolically pulsed to a first input systolic element of the second processing unit and computations of the second node are performed by using the second processing unit to process at least the first activation output.
