Multidimensional and multiblock tensorized direct memory access descriptors

Techniques to reduce overhead in a direct memory access (DMA) engine can include processing descriptors from a descriptor queue to obtain a striding configuration to generate tensorized memory descriptors. The striding configuration can include, for each striding dimension, a stride and a repetition number indicating a number of times to repeat striding in the corresponding striding dimension. One or more sets of tensorized memory descriptors can be generated based on the striding configuration. Data transfers are then performed based on the generated tensorized memory descriptors.
