Nvidia patents method to move data between chips without extra memory steps

Nvidia describes a way for computer chips to rearrange large blocks of data, called tensors, using a simple map. The system moves the data to a new format without saving the details of how it was moved in memory.

Why it mattersThis could help computer chips handle complex math tasks more efficiently by reducing the amount of information they need to track during data transfers.

In the filing’s own words

Apparatuses, systems, and techniques to cause a first tensor to be translated into a second tensor according to a tensor map without storing information about a memory transaction corresponding to the translation. In at least one embodiment, one or more circuits are to perform an application programming interface (API) to cause a first tensor to be translated into a second tensor according to a tensor map without storing information about one or more memory transactions corresponding to the translation.

What exactly they claim (claim 1)

1. One or more processors, comprising: circuitry to, in response to an application programming interface (API) call, cause a first tensor in memory of an accelerator to be translated into a second tensor according to a tensor descriptor and based, at least in part, on a data structure indicating location information of at least a portion of the first tensor in the memory of the accelerator.
