Abstract

A method in a reconfigurable computing system includes connecting a plurality of tensor consumers to their corresponding tensor producers via skip-buffers, which generates a plurality of skip-buffers. The method includes determining that at least one skip-buffer of the plurality of skip-buffers corresponding to a first set of tensor consumers and at least one skip-buffer of the plurality of skip-buffers corresponding to a second set of tensor consumers, are compatible to wholly or partially merge. The method also includes merging, wholly or partially, the compatible skip-buffers to produce a merged skip-buffer having a minimal buffer depth. The described method may reduce memory unit consumption and latency.
