Claim 17:
18. The media of claim 16, wherein:
the filter tensor comprises one or more three-dimensional (3D) filter tensors of weights;
each of the one or more subarrays of computation units in the tensor processor comprises a two-dimensional array of multiply-and-accumulate (MAC) computation units that operate in parallel to apply weights defined for one or more of the 3D filter tensors to a respective subset of a spatial partition of the input tensor and produce a respective subset of a spatial partition of an output tensor, the two-dimensional arrays in the one or more subarrays having a common subarray width and a common subarray height; and
to determine that the size is less than the processing capacity of each of the one or more subarrays of computation units in the tensor processor, the software is further operable to determine that the size is less than the common subarray height.
