This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20250103870 titled 'BRANCHING OPERATION FOR NEURAL PROCESSOR CIRCUIT

==Original Abstract Submitted==

a neural processor includes neural engines for performing convolution operations on input data corresponding to one or more tasks to generate output data. the neural processor circuit also includes a data processor circuit that is coupled to one or more neural engine. the data processor circuit receives the output data from the neural engine and generates a branching command from the output data. the neural processor circuit further includes a task manager that is coupled to the data processor circuit. the task manager receives the branching command from the data processor circuit. the task manager enqueues one of two or more segment branches according to the received branching command. the two or more segment branches are subsequent to a pre-branch task segment that includes the pre-branch task. the task manager transmits a task from the selected one of the segment branches to data processor circuit to perform the task.
