Abstract
An apparatus is described. The apparatus includes a long short term memory (LSTM) circuit having a multiply accumulate circuit (MAC). The MAC circuit has circuitry to rely on a stored product term rather than explicitly perform a multiplication operation to determine the product term if an accumulation of differences between consecutive, preceding input values has not reached a threshold.
Claims1
An apparatus, comprising:
- a long short term memory (LSTM) circuit comprising a multiply accumulate circuit (MAC) having a multiplier circuit and an accumulator circuit, the LSTM circuit further comprising selection circuitry and a storage element, the selection circuitry to select a stored product term and the multiplier circuit to avoid explicit multiplication of a product term if an accumulation of differences between consecutive, preceding input values has not reached a threshold, the storage element to store the stored product term.
