Disclosed herein are techniques for performing neural network computations. In one embodiment, an apparatus may include an array of processing elements, the array having a configurable first effective dimension and a configurable second effective dimension. The apparatus may also include a controller configured to determine at least one of: a first number of input data sets to be provided to the array at the first time or a second number of output data sets to be generated by the array at the second time, and to configure, based on at least one of the first number or the second number, at least one of the first effective dimension or the second effective dimension of the array.
