This application note proposes a method to implement wideband beamforming functionality on the AI Engine with the following features:

  • A generic framework for matrix multiplication that covers a wide range of matrix sizes and throughput requirements.
  • A scalable architecture that only needs a small number of kernels to be developed.
  • An example submatrix multiplication kernel design that fits into one AI Engine tile and achieves 85% overall efficiency with low latency.
