Abstract
The present application discloses a cache access method and an associated graph neural network system. The graph neural network processor is used for performing computation upon a graph neural network. The graph neural network is stored in the memory in compressed sparse row format. The method includes: receiving an address corresponding to a node of the graph neural network and a type of the address; in response to the type is one of a first type or a second type, performing lookup by comparing the address with a tag field of a degree lookup table to at least obtain a degree of the node; determining whether the degree is greater than a predetermined value to obtain a determination result; and determining whether to perform lookup on a region of the cache corresponding to the type according to the determination result.
