Abstract
A processing element may include a pre-processing circuit configured to receive and filter a feature and a weight and output a filtered feature and a filtered weight; and an accumulation circuit configured to accumulate a value of the filtered feature, wherein the pre-processing circuit comprises: a sign conversion circuit configured to change a sign of the feature and a sign of the weight when the weight having a value of −1; and a zero filtering circuit configured to change a value of the weight to 0 when the feature having a value of 0.
Claims23
A processing element comprising:
- a pre-processing circuit configured to receive and filter a feature and a weight and output a filtered feature and a filtered weight;
- and
- an accumulation circuit configured to accumulate a value of the filtered feature,
- wherein the pre-processing circuit comprises:
- a sign conversion circuit configured to change a sign of the feature and a sign of the weight when the weight has a value of −1;
- and
- a zero filtering circuit configured to change a value of the weight to 0 when the feature has a value of 0.
A processing element comprising:
- a pre-processing circuit configured to receive and filter a feature and a weight and output a filtered feature and a filtered weight;
- and
- an accumulation circuit configured to accumulate a value of the filtered feature,
- wherein the pre-processing circuit comprises:
- a sign conversion circuit configured to change a sign of the feature and a sign of the weight when the weight has a value of 1;
- and
- a zero filtering circuit configured to change a value of the weight to 0 when the feature having a value of 0.
A processing system comprising:
- a cache memory configured to store a feature and a weight;
- and
- a processing element configured to operate the feature and the weight transferred from the cache memory,
- wherein the processing element comprises:
