Data mover circuitry for N-dimensional data in an integrated circuit

Abstract:

An integrated circuit (IC) can include a decomposer data mover circuit configured to read sub-arrays from array data stored in a source memory; generate metadata headers for the sub-arrays, wherein each metadata header includes location information indicating location of a corresponding sub-array within the array data; create data tiles, wherein each data tile includes a sub-array and a corresponding metadata header; and output the data tiles to compute circuitry within the IC. The IC can include a composer data mover circuit configured to receive processed versions of the data tiles from the compute circuitry; extract valid data regions from the processed versions of the data tiles; and write the valid data regions to a destination memory based on the location information from the metadata headers of the processed versions of the data tiles.
