Abstract
A system for performing matrix operations utilizes a processor, memory, and a matrix operation manager. The processor has a memory cache. The memory is external to the processor and stores first and second matrices. The matrix operation manager is configured to mathematically combine the first matrix with the scond matrix utilizing a hoisted matrix algorithm for hoisting values of the first matrix, and the hoisted matrix algorithm has an outer loop and an inner loop that is performed to completion for each iteration of the outer loop. The matrix operation manager, for each iteration of the outer loop, is configured to load to the cache and to write to a contiguous portion of the memory, before performing the inner loop, values from the first matrix that are to be combined, via performance of the inner loop, with values from the second matrix.
