TECHNIQUES TO DYNAMICALLY GATE ENCODED IMAGE COMPONENTS FOR ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TASKS

Abstract:

A system for processing encoded image components for artificial intelligence tasks. The system can include one or more compute units, one or more controllers and memory. The one or more controllers can include one or more micro-op schedulers and one or more channel switches. The one or more compute units can be configured to process components of the transformed domain image data according to one or more micro-operations for an artificial intelligence task. The one or more channel switches can be configured to selectively control the transfer of the components of transformed domain image data to the one or more compute units based on one or more gating flags. The one or more channel switches can also be configured to selectively control generation of the one or more micro-operations by the one or more micro-op schedulers based on the one or more gating flags.
