Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and apparatus for compute processing. For example, disclosed techniques facilitate improving performance of matrix multiplication in streaming processor. Aspects of the present disclosure can execute, with a load control unit, a first load instruction to load a set of input data of an input matrix from a first memory to a second memory. Aspects of the present disclosure can also execute, with the load control unit, a second load instruction to load a set of weight data of a weight matrix from the first memory to the second memory. Additionally, aspects of the present disclosure can perform, with an ALU component, a matrix multiplication operation using the set of input data and the set of weight data to generate an output matrix. Further, aspects of the present disclosure can store the output matrix at a general purpose register accessible to the ALU component.
