Writing and Advancing an Output Stream - 2024.2 English - UG1603

AI Engine Operations

The following operations write data to the given output stream and advance the stream on the AI Engine. Data values can be written to the output stream one at a time or as a vector. Until all values are written, the stream operation stalls. The data groupings are based on the underlying single cycle, 32-bit stream operation. Cascade connection writes all values in parallel.

//Scalar operations
