Abstract:
In an embodiment, a computation engine may perform dot product computations on input vectors. The dot product operation may have a first operand and a second operand, and the dot product may be performed on a subset of the vector elements in the first operand and each of the vector elements in the second operand. The subset of vector elements may be separated in the first operand by a stride that skips one or more elements between each element to which the dot product operation is applied. More particularly, in an embodiment, the input operands of the dot product operation may be a first vector having second vectors as elements, and the stride may select a specified element of each second vector.
