A disclosed apparatus to multiply matrices includes a compute engine. The compute engine includes multipliers in a two dimensional array that has a plurality of array locations defined by columns and rows. The apparatus also includes a plurality of adders in columns. A broadcast interconnect between a cache and the multipliers broadcasts a first set of operand data elements to multipliers in the rows of the array. A unicast interconnect unicasts a second set of operands between a data buffer and the multipliers. The multipliers multiply the operands to generate a plurality of outputs, and the adders add the outputs generated by the multipliers.
