Abstract
Apparatuses, systems, and techniques for scheduling deep learning tasks in hardware are described. One accelerator circuit includes multiple fixed-function circuits that each processes a different layer type of a neural network. A scheduler circuit receives state information associated with a respective layer being processed by a respective fixed-function circuit and dependency information that indicates a layer dependency condition for the respective layer. The scheduler circuit determines that the layer dependency condition is satisfied using the state information and the dependency information and enables the fixed-function circuit to process the current layer at the respective fixed-function circuit.
