Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for loading a matrix into a circuit having an array having M×N cells. One of the methods includes: receiving a plurality of non-zero input values from a first input matrix; receiving index metadata that indicates, for each non-zero input value in the plurality of input values, which cell of the M×N cells in the array the non-zero input value should be loaded into; sending the non-zero input values and the index metadata to the M×N cells; and at a particular cell of the M×N cells in the array: receiving a particular non-zero input value and corresponding index metadata; and determining from the corresponding index metadata for the particular non-zero input value whether to store the particular non-zero input value at the cell or to shift the particular non-zero input value to another cell.
