Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of machine learning, in particular to a tensor calculation operation method, device and operation system. Background technique [0002] In some application scenarios, due to actual needs, electronic devices with computing capabilities can perform calculations between one or more tensors (hereinafter referred to as tensor calculations), such as the process of using a trained convolutional neural network for image recognition In , the convolutional layer, pooling layer, activation layer, etc. in the neural network can be realized by tensor calculation. [0003] The complexity of tensor calculation is high, and general-purpose host-side devices (hereinafter referred to as the host-side) often do not have the hardware conditions to perform high-complexity calculations. For example, the host-side often does not have a high-performance GPU, such as P4 ( A GPU model), T4 (a GPU model), TX1 (a GPU model) type GPU. ...
