Reading and Advancing an Input Stream - 2023.1 English - UG1079

AI Engine Operations

The following operations read data from the given input stream and advance the stream on the AI Engine. Because there are two input stream ports on the AI Engine, the physical port assignment is made by the AI Engine compiler automatically and conveyed as part of the stream data structure. Data values from the stream can be read one at a time or as a vector. In the latter case, unless all values are present, the stream operation stalls. The data groupings are based on the underlying single cycle, 32-bit stream operation or 4 cycle, 128-bit wide stream operation. The cascade connection reads all accumulator values in parallel.
