METHODS AND APPARATUS TO FACILITATE IMPROVING PROCESSING OF MACHINE LEARNING PRIMITIVES

Abstract:

The present disclosure relates to methods and apparatus for machine learning processing. For example, disclosed techniques facilitate improving execution of machine learning primitives. Aspects of the present disclosure may store a command stream generated by an application in a buffer, the command stream including a plurality of machine learning primitives for execution by a graphics processor. Further, aspects of the present disclosure identify, after receiving a request from the application to finalize the buffer, two or more machine learning primitives of the buffer that may be replaced with a fused shader kernel. Additionally, aspects of the present disclosure may store the fused shader kernel in the buffer to generate a fused command buffer.
