Parallel processing unit and device for parallel processing

A parallel processing unit including a plurality of main processing units and a decision processing unit,

• wherein each of the plurality of main processing units comprises:
• a main processing calculator configured to perform a calculation on one or more inputs;
• a main processing partial adder configured to select one or more outputs of the plurality of main processing calculators included in the plurality of main processing units and add the selected one or more outputs;
• a main processing adder configured to add an output of the main processing partial adder and an output of a decision processing delayer;
• and a main processing comparator configured to make a comparison with an output of the main processing adder, and
• wherein the decision processing unit comprises:
• a decision processing calculator configured to add the outputs of the plurality of main processing calculators belonging to the plurality of main processing units;
• a decision processing adder configured to add an output of the decision processing calculator and the output of the decision processing delayer;
• the decision processing delayer configured to delay an output of the decision processing adder;
• and a decision processing comparator configured to make a comparison with the output of the decision processing adder.

A device for parallel processing, the device comprising:

• an address and configuration value generator configured to output a read address group including a plurality of read addresses, a write address group including a plurality of write addresses, and a configuration value group including a plurality of main processing configuration values and a decision processing configuration value;
• a memory configured to have a plurality of memory banks, output a read data group corresponding to the read address group, and store a write data group according to the write address group;
• and
• a parallel processing unit including a plurality of main processing units configured to perform calculations on the read data group and have configurations corresponding to the plurality of main processing configuration values, and a decision processing unit configured to receive outputs of the plurality of main processing units, perform a calculation on the received outputs, and have a configuration corresponding to the decision processing configuration value.
