Abstract
A computer system retrieves a packet that includes non-zero elements that correspond to sparse-matrix rows. Within the packet, the non-zero elements are stored in predefined fields that each correspond to one of the sparse-matrix rows. The computer system computes output values to correspond with each of the sparse-matrix rows using the non-zero elements and corresponding input values. In turn, the computer system stores the computed output values in consecutive locations within an output buffer and processes the output values accordingly.
