Google LLC Patent for Neural Accelerator Compiler
Summary
The USPTO has granted Google LLC a patent for a neural accelerator compiler designed to improve runtime speed and conserve energy. The patent, filed in March 2020, describes a method for optimizing the compilation and loading of neural network models into hardware accelerators.
What changed
The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has issued patent US12585443B2 to Google LLC for a novel compiler system for neural accelerators. This patent, filed on March 9, 2020, and granted on March 24, 2026, details a compiler that identifies frequently invoked sequences of neural network models, compiles them, and loads them into a hardware accelerator's SRAM. The system aims to prevent unnecessary reloads by checking for existing compiled models, thereby enhancing runtime speed and reducing computational energy consumption.
This patent grant is primarily an intellectual property development for Google LLC and does not impose new regulatory obligations on other entities. However, it signifies advancements in AI hardware optimization that may influence future industry standards and competitive landscapes in the technology sector. Compliance officers in technology companies should be aware of such innovations as they may impact product development roadmaps and intellectual property strategies.

Abstract
A compiler of a computing device is described that identifies a sequence of neural network models frequently invoked by an application of the computing device, compiles the models in that sequence, and loads a static random access memory (SRAM) of a hardware accelerator with the compiled models only when the same compiled models—from another, but same, sequence that was previously invoked—are not already present in the SRAM. This prevents unnecessary reloading of compiled models into the SRAM, thereby increasing runtime speed and conserving computational energy.
