Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	In one example, a neural network processor comprises a memory interface, an instruction buffer, a weights buffer, an input data register, a weights register, an output data register, a computing engine, and a controller. The controller is configured to: receive a first instruction from the instruction buffer; responsive to the first instruction, fetch input data elements from the memory interface to the input data register, and fetch weight elements from the weights buffer to the weights register. The controller is also configured to: receive a second instruction from the instruction buffer; and responsive to the second instruction: fetch the input data elements and the weight elements from, respectively, the input data register and the weights register to the computing engine; and perform, using the computing engine, computation operations between the input data elements and the weight elements to generate output data elements.
