Patent attributes
A topology of accelerators is provided, including a plurality of accelerators and a broadcast buffer. Each of the plurality of accelerators corresponds to a first memory and obtain input data from an external second memory respectively, wherein the accelerator can only directly access its corresponding first memory, and the broadcast buffer is coupled between one of the plurality of accelerators and the corresponding first memory. When receiving a write command and the input data from the accelerator to which it is coupled, the broadcast buffer is configured to write the input data into the corresponding first memory according to the write command, and when broadcast is enabled, the broadcast buffer is configured to broadcast the write command and the weight data in the input data. This application can improve the access performance of the accelerators and reduce the access delay.
