Abstract
A neural network processor is configured to execute instructions in parallel on different computing engines (CEs) to perform convolution operations on an input dataset. The input dataset is divided into overlapping chunks, including a first chunk and a second chunk. Each CE processes a last portion of a respective chunk to compute respective shared states and receives additional shared states for processing. The first chunk is the respective chunk for a first CE. The second chunk is the respective chunk for a second CE. The additional shared states received by the second CE are the respective shared states computed by the first CE. The second CE receives the respective shared states computed by the first CE as a substitute for intermediate states that would otherwise have been computed by the second CE using a first portion of the second chunk.
