Abstract

One or more processors are operative to carry out neural network operations and include a plurality of compute units (CUs) configurable for neural network operations. The neural network compute unit remapping logic detects a condition to remap neural network compute units that are currently used in carrying out a neural network operation in a processor with at least one replacement compute unit that is not currently being used to carry out the neural network operation. In response to detecting the condition, the logic remaps a logical address of at least one currently used compute unit to a different physical address that corresponds to the replacement compute unit and causes the replacement compute unit to carry out neural network operations.
