Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure include systems and methods for training neural networks based on dual pipeline architectures. In some embodiments, a first set of compute elements are configured to implement a first set of layers of a first instance of a neural network. A second set of compute elements are configured to implement a second set of layers of the first instance of the neural network. The second set of compute elements are further configured to implement a first set of layers of a second instance of the neural network. The first set of compute elements are further configured to implement a second set of layers of the second instance of the neural network. The first set of layers of the first instance of the neural network and the first set of layers of the second instance of the neural network are each configured to receive training data.
