Abstract
In some embodiments, an apparatus includes first circuitry configured to perform a computation that uses a matrix as an input and second circuitry configured to perform the computation, where the second circuitry includes a smaller amount of processing resources than the first circuitry. The second circuitry may begin performing the computation on at least a portion of a set of input data. One or more storage elements may store context information for the second circuitry, where the context information includes outputs from the computation performed on the at least a portion of the set of input data. Based on the at least a portion of the set of input data, the apparatus may activate the first circuitry to complete the computation, where the completion uses the outputs of the computation performed by the second circuitry, included in the context information, as an intermediate result.
