Abstract
Mapping of neural network layers to physical neural cores is provided. In various embodiments, a neural network description describing a plurality of neural network layers is read. Each of the plurality of neural network layers has an associated weight tensor, input tensor, and output tensor. A plurality of precedence relationships among the plurality of neural network layers is determined. The weight tensor, input tensor, and output tensor of each of the plurality of neural network layers are mapped onto an array of neural cores.
