Claim One:
1. A method for evaluating a neural network model in a system comprising a plurality of nodes interconnected via a network, wherein each node comprises a plurality of tiles, the method comprising: receiving an N by M matrix of coefficients via an ingress tree, wherein the N by M matrix of coefficients is configured to control the neural network model, wherein N is an integer equal to or greater than 8 and M is an integer equal to or greater than 8; storing a first row of the N by M matrix of coefficients in a first on-chip memory incorporated within a first of the plurality of tiles and storing a second row of the N by M matrix of coefficients in a second on-chip memory incorporated within a second of the plurality of tiles; processing the first row of the N by M matrix of coefficients and a first set of input vectors, received via the ingress tree, using a first compute unit incorporated within the first of the plurality of tiles; and processing the second row of the N by M matrix of coefficients and a second set of input vectors, received via the ingress tree, using a second compute unit incorporated within the second of the plurality of tiles.
