Abstract:
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for three-dimensionally stacked neural network accelerators. In one aspect, a method includes obtaining data specifying that a tile from a plurality of tiles in a three-dimensionally stacked neural network accelerator is a faulty tile. The three-dimensionally stacked neural network accelerator includes a plurality of neural network dies, each neural network die including a respective plurality of tiles, each tile has input and output connections. The three-dimensionally stacked neural network accelerator is configured to process inputs by routing the input through each of the plurality of tiles according to a dataflow configuration and modifying the dataflow configuration to route an output of a tile before the faulty tile in the dataflow configuration to an input connection of a tile that is positioned above or below the faulty tile on a different neural network die than the faulty tile.
