Abstract
To improve utilization of a systolic array, each row of the array is provided with two or more general purpose row input buses. Each of the general purpose row input data buses can be operable to transfer either feature map (FMAP) input elements or weight values into the processing elements of the corresponding row of the array. The flexibility of the general purpose row input buses allows weights to be loaded in parallel into the array to speed up weight loading times to reduce the overall latency.
