    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses and methods may provide for technology that identifies a type of a first activation function, identifies a derivative level of the first activation function, and generates a first instruction based on the type of the first activation function and the derivative level of the first activation function. The technology also includes an accelerator having logic coupled to one or more substrates, the logic including a compute engine including a plurality of arithmetic operators, a multiplexer network coupled to the compute engine, and a controller coupled to the multiplexer network, the controller to detect the first instruction, decode the first instruction to identify the first activation function, and drive the multiplexer network to form first connections between two or more of the plurality of arithmetic operators in accordance with the first activation function, wherein the first connections are to cause the compute engine to conduct the first activation function.
