Description

Vector Size

Allowed values are 8,16,

32, 64, 96, and 128.

The size of the dot product which can

be computed in parallel. Where the

number of columns of matrix A and

rows of matrix B are greater than

Vector Size a number of iterations are

required to compute a full dot

product.
Vector Size also controls the matrix B

memory configuration. Increasing

the “Vector Size” increases the matrix

B memory bandwidth and the

number of memory blocks used.

Memory Blocks

The Vector Size must be

an integer multiple of

Memory Blocks. The

number of memory blocks

must be smaller than the

vector size.
The number of memory

blocks must be greater

than or equals to the ratio

of vector size divided by

the number of columns of

matrix B.

Controls the memory configuration

of the matrix A storage. Increasing

this number increases the memory

bandwidth and the number of

memory blocks used.
