US 2026/0133763 A1 · ELECTRONIC DEVICE PERFORMING CALCULATION USING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE MODEL, AND METHOD FOR OPERATING ELECTRONIC DEVICE

Abstract

An electronic device for performing a multiply and accumulate (MAC) operation includes at least one MAC unit, a memory, at least one 8b×8b operator, at least one 8b×4b operator, at least one 4b×4b operator, a bit shifter, an adder, at least one accumulator, and a processor. The processor receives first bit string data and second bit string data which include 12 bits, divides the first bit string data into 4 bits and 8 bits, divides the second bit string data into 4 bits and 8 bits, outputs two 8-bit results corresponding to activation 8-bit, weight 8-bit (A8W8) by using the bit shifter and a first accumulator on the basis of determining to output an A8W8 result, and outputs one 12-bit result corresponding to activation 12-bit, weight 12-bit (A12W12) on the basis of determining to output an A12W12 result.
