Abstract

See full text

This application describes a network-on-chip system on a hardware accelerator for accelerating neural network computations. An example NoC system in the NN accelerator may include interconnected routers with routing control circuits and cores respectively coupled to the routers. The cores are arranged into a matrix. Each row of cores are connected with a first uni-directional ring-shape data link and every two adjacent data links are in opposite directions. Each column of cores are connected with a second uni-directional ring-shape data link and every two adjacent data links are in opposite directions. In a given router of the plurality of routers, the routing control circuit is configured to: receive a data package; convert physical addresses of the given router and the target router into logical addresses; determine a routing port of the given router based on the logical addresses; and output the data package through the routing port.
