Methods and systems are disclosed for executing a collaborative task in a shader system. Techniques disclosed include receiving, by the system, input data and computing instructions associated with the collaborative task, as well as a configuration setting, causing the system to operate in a takeover mode.

A streaming engine employed in a digital data processor specifies a fixed read only data stream defined by plural nested loops. An address generator produces address of data elements for the nested loops. A steam head register stores data elements next to be supplied to functional units for use as operands. A stream template specifies loop count and loop dimension for each nested loop. A format definition field in the stream template specifies the number of loops and the stream template bits devoted to the loop counts and loop dimensions. This permits the same bits of the stream template to be interpreted differently enabling trade off between the number of loops supported and the size of the loop counts and loop dimensions.

The micro-processor circuit includes a parameter generation module, a compute module and a truncation logic. The parameter generation module receives in parallel a plurality of input parameters and a plurality of weight parameters of the neural network operation. The parameter generation module generates in parallel a plurality of sub-output parameters according to the input parameters and the weight parameters. The compute module receives in parallel the sub-output parameters. The compute module sums the sub-output parameters to generate a summed parameter. The truncation logic receives the summed parameter. The truncation logic performs a truncation operation based on the summed parameter to generate a plurality of output parameters of the neural network operation.
