Abstract
A machine learning accelerator (MLA) implemented on a semiconductor die includes a computing mesh of interconnected compute elements. The compute elements execute a program of instructions to implement a machine learning network according to a static schedule for execution of the instructions. The compute elements include gap counters. The number of cycles between any two instructions (i.e., the gap count) in a statically scheduled program is known and fixed. A gap counter counts cycles during execution and must reach the expected gap count before the later instruction can be executed. Synchronization between different processing elements may be maintained by suspending counting for a period of time.
