Abstract

A dataflow graph for an application has operation units that are configured to be producers and consumers of tensors. A write access pattern of a particular producer specifies an order in which the particular producer generates elements of a tensor, and a read access pattern of a corresponding consumer specifies an order in which the corresponding consumer processes the elements of the tensor. The technology disclosed detects conflicts between the producers and the corresponding consumers that have mismatches between the write access patterns and the read access patterns. A conflict occurs when the order in which the particular producer generates the elements of the tensor is different from the order in which the corresponding consumer processes the elements of the tensor. The technology disclosed resolves the conflicts by inserting buffers between the producers and the corresponding consumers.
