A processing device is provided which comprises memory configured to store data and a plurality of processor cores in communication with each other via first and second hierarchical communication links. Processor cores of a first hierarchical processor core group are in communication with each other via the first hierarchical communication links and are configured to store, in the memory, a sub-portion of data of a first matrix and a sub-portion of data of a second matrix. The processor cores are also configured to determine a product of the sub-portion of data of the first matrix and the sub-portion of data of the second matrix, receive, from another processor core, another sub-portion of data of the second matrix and determine a product of the sub-portion of data of the first matrix and the other sub-portion of data of the second matrix.
