Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses relating to a sequencer dataflow operator of a configurable spatial accelerator are described. In one embodiment, an interconnect network between a plurality of processing elements receives an input of a dataflow graph comprising a plurality of nodes forming a loop construct, wherein the dataflow graph is overlaid into the interconnect network and the plurality of processing elements with each node represented as a dataflow operator in the plurality of processing elements and at least one dataflow operator controlled by a sequencer dataflow operator of the plurality of processing elements, and the plurality of processing elements is to perform an operation when an incoming operand set arrives at the plurality of processing elements and the sequencer dataflow operator generates control signals for the at least one dataflow operator in the plurality of processing elements.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses relating to a configurable spatial accelerator are described. In one embodiment, a processor includes a core with a decoder to decode an instruction into a decoded instruction and an execution unit to execute the decoded instruction to perform a first operation; a plurality of processing elements; and an interconnect network between the plurality of processing elements to receive an input of a dataflow graph comprising a plurality of nodes, wherein the dataflow graph is to be overlaid into the interconnect network and the plurality of processing elements with each node represented as a dataflow operator in the plurality of processing elements, and the plurality of processing elements is to perform a second operation when an incoming operand set arrives at the plurality of processing elements.
