Abstract: Briefly, embodiments, such as methods and/or systems for employing external memory devices in the execution of activation function such as activation functions implemented in a neural network. In one aspect, a first activation input tensor may be partitioned as a plurality of tensor segments stored in one or more external memory devices. Individual stored tensor segments may be sequentially loaded to memories local to processing circuitry to apply activation functions associated with the stored tensor segments.
