Claim 4:
5. The system of claim 4, wherein:
each tensor processor in the given cluster is configured to generate a respective spatial partition of an output tensor based on the respective spatial partition of the input tensor on which each tensor processor in the given cluster is to operate using single-instruction-multiple-data (SIMD) parallelism;
to implement SIMD parallelism, each tensor processor in the given cluster is configured to implement data parallelism; and
the cluster-level controller is further configured to provide the first subset of the weights that are associated with the first convolution operation to the hardware compute arrays of two or more of the tensor processors in the given cluster for execution of the first convolution operation in the first cycle of the first multi-cycle instruction.
