Does anyone know if the neural engine on the new M1/M2 Max is directly hooked up to the unified memory the way the GPU is?

Does anyone know if the neural engine on the new M1/M2 Max is directly hooked up to the unified memory the way the GPU is?
- wmf 4y agoDefine directly I guess.
- ls612 4y agoMy understanding is that the CPU and GPU both have DMA to the memory at some incredible speed since it’s all on the same chip. Does the ANE have that same DMA speed and latency?
- jamiek88 4y agoI believe so as it’s used by adobe amongst others, this was from a convo with an adobe engineer gushing about the UMA/DMA and what an improvement it was from the fans whirring jet engine end of Intel era. I can’t find any documentation about it though just everyone working under that assumption.
