Abstract

A systolic array can implement an architecture tailored to perform matrix multiplications on sparse matrices. Each processing element in the systolic array may include a register configured to store a value, and a multiplexor configured to select an input element from multiple input data buses based on metadata associated with the value. Each processing element may also include a multiplier configured to multiply the selected input element with the value to generate a multiplication result, and an adder configured to add the multiplication result to a partial sum input to generate a partial sum output.
