Abstract: A matrix operation method is provided, applied to an accelerator configured to perform a matrix operation. A matrix operation accelerator (100) respectively stores, in response to a received matrix operation instruction, subsets of a first matrix and subsets of a second matrix in a first storage space and a second storage space of a memory (120); stores, in a third storage space of the memory (120), subsets obtained after the subsets of the first matrix are multiplied by the subsets of the second matrix; and performs matrix operations on the subsets of the first matrix and the subsets of the second matrix based on the matrix operation instruction, to obtain matrix operation results. The dedicated matrix operation accelerator (100) is used to perform a matrix operation, so that a large-scale matrix operation can be completed in relatively short time, thereby offloading a matrix operation burden of a processor.
