Abstract
A computing device is coupled to an external memory and includes a first computing core and a second computing core. The first computing core includes a broadcasting circuit and is configured to obtain a target data from the external memory, store the target data in the broadcasting circuit, and use the target data to perform convolution operations. The second calculation core is configured to read the target data from the broadcasting circuit and use the target data to perform convolution operations.
Claims19
A computing device coupled to an external memory, comprising:
- a first computing core comprising a broadcasting circuit, wherein the first computing core is configured to obtain a target data from the external memory, store the target data in the broadcasting circuit, and use the target data to perform a first convolution operation;
- and
- a second computing core configured to read the target data from the broadcasting circuit and use the target data to perform a second convolution operation.
A computing core coupled to an external memory, wherein the external memory stores a target data, the computing core comprising:
- a memory configured to store the target data;
- and
- a convolution core comprising a broadcasting circuit and a multiply accumulate, wherein the convolution core reads the target data from the memory, stores the target data in the broadcasting circuit, and provides the target data to the multiply accumulate.
