Data processing method for managing tensor data descriptors
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11886880B2) discloses a data processing method that involves managing descriptors to indicate the shape of tensor data. The method includes determining a descriptor management instruction, obtaining a management parameter for the descriptor, allocating storage areas for the descriptor and tensor data, and executing the instruction to interact with the allocated storage areas. The patent details various aspects of descriptor management, including registration, content determination, and release based on identifiers, shapes of tensor data, and content of the descriptors.
Furthermore, the patent extends to a data processing apparatus and an artificial intelligence chip incorporating the described method for efficient management of descriptors. The apparatus includes a control circuit that determines descriptor management instructions, obtains management parameters, allocates storage areas, and executes the instructions to interact with the allocated storage areas. The artificial intelligence chip, in turn, leverages the descriptor management method for tasks related to registering descriptors, determining content storage areas, and releasing descriptors based on identifiers. The patent also envisions the integration of the artificial intelligence chip into electronic devices and hoard cards, emphasizing the chip's role in data storage, interface implementation, and external equipment communication, with a dedicated control device monitoring the chip's status.
