Device and method for accelerating matrix multiply operations as a sum of outer products
Abstract:
A processing device is provided which includes memory and a processor comprising a plurality of processor cores in communication with each other via first and second hierarchical communication links. Each processor core in a group of the processor cores is in communication with each other via the first hierarchical communication links. Each processor core is configured to store, in the memory, one of a plurality of sub-portions of data of a first matrix, store, in the memory, one of a plurality of sub-portions of data of a second matrix, determine an outer product of the sub-portion of data of the first matrix and the sub-portion of data of the second matrix, receive, from another processor core of the group of processor cores, another sub-portion of data of the second matrix and determine another outer product of the sub-portion of data of the first matrix and the other sub-portion of data of the second matrix.
