Abstract
A system including a machine learning accelerator (MLA) hardware configured to perform machine-learning operations according to native instructions; an interpreter computing module configured to: generate, based on virtual instructions, machine language instructions configured to be processed by a processing hardware implementing the interpreter computing module; and cause the processing hardware to perform machine-learning operations according to the machine language instructions; and a compiler computing module associated with the MLA hardware, the compiler computing module configured to: receive instructions for performing an inference using a machine-learning model; based on the received instructions: generate the native instructions configured to be processed by the MLA hardware, the native instructions specifying first machine-learning operations associated with performing the inference; and generate the virtual instructions configured to be processed by the interpreter computing module, the virtual instructions specifying second machine-learning operations associated with performing the inference.
