Claim 12:
13. The method of claim 12, wherein:
each tensor processor in the 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 cluster is to operate using single-instruction-multiple-data (SIMD) parallelism;
a second cycle of the first multi-cycle instruction is associated with a second convolution operation; and
the method further comprises:
providing 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 cluster for execution of the first convolution operation in the first cycle of the first multi-cycle instruction;
determining, for at least one vector operation in the first sequence of vector operations and dependent on the weight information, a second subset of the weights associated with the first multi-cycle instruction that are associated with the second convolution operation; and
providing the second subset of the weights that are associated with the second convolution operation to the hardware compute arrays of the two or more tensor processors in the cluster for execution of the second convolution operation in the second cycle of the first multi-cycle instruction.
