Abstract
An integrated circuit included in a device for performing a neural network operation includes a buffer configured to store feature map data in units of cells each including at least one feature, wherein the feature map data is for use in the neural network operation; and a multiplexing circuit configured to receive the feature map data from the buffer, and output extracted data by extracting feature data of one of features that are included within a plurality of cells in the received feature map data, the features each corresponding to an identical coordinate value.
Claims9
An integrated circuit included in a device for performing a neural network operation, the integrated circuit comprising:
- a buffer configured to store feature map data in units of cells each comprising at least one feature, each of the at least one feature of each cell corresponding to a coordinate value, wherein the feature map data is for use in the neural network operation;
- and
- a multiplexing circuit including at least one multiplexer, the multiplexing circuit being configured to
- receive the feature map data from the buffer,
- extract feature data from each cell, the at least one multiplexer being configured to extract each of the at least one feature of each cell corresponding to an identical coordinate value, and
- output the extracted feature data.
