Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for depth concatenation using a matrix computation unit. One of the methods includes: receiving a request to process network inputs to a neural network using an integrated circuit, the neural network comprising a depth concatenation neural network layer; and generating instructions that, when executed by the integrated circuit, cause the integrated circuit to perform operations comprising: for each spatial location in a first input tensor to the depth concatenation layer and a second input tensor to the depth concatenation layer: multiplying, using the matrix computation unit, a second depth vector for the spatial location by a shift weight matrix for the depth concatenation layer to generate a shifted second depth vector; and adding the shifted second depth vector and a first input depth vector for the spatial location to generate a concatenated depth vector.
