Software-hardware interaction method, apparatus and storage medium for hardware accelerator

Abstract

The present invention provides a software-hardware interaction method, device, and storage medium for a time-series accelerator. The interaction method includes: a main thread step, which is used to establish multiple sub-threads, generate compiler call instructions, and generate corresponding queues; The multiple sub-threads respectively execute the tasks of multiple pipelines decomposed based on the software-hardware interaction process of the time-series accelerator. The multiple pipelines include: the first pipeline, sending data to the specified hardware; the second pipeline, sending instructions and related results information to the specified hardware; the third pipeline, sending hardware calculation instructions; and the fourth pipeline, reading result data from the specified hardware; wherein, multiple sub-threads execute the tasks of the four pipelines in parallel. The method in the embodiment of the present invention can improve the utilization rate of hardware resources.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of computer systems, and more specifically, to a method, device and storage medium for efficient interaction between software and hardware for time series accelerators. Background technique [0002] In the era of big data, with the development of technologies such as the Internet of Things, cloud computing, and the Internet, a large amount of data generated in various application scenarios is continuing to grow and accumulate on an astonishing scale. With the improvement of transistor technology, the quantum tunneling effect will become an unavoidable limitation, "Moore's Law" is about to expire, and human society is entering the "post-Moore era". Dedicated computing architecture has become an important opportunity in the "post-Moore era". Special-purpose chips ushered in the "golden" age of coprocessors. Dedicated chips basically adopt a design architecture similar to Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD:...
