Abstract:
A vector reduction circuit configured to reduce an input vector of elements comprises a plurality of cells, wherein each of the plurality of cells other than a designated first cell that receives a designated first element of the input vector is configured to receive a particular element of the input vector, receive, from another of the one or more cells, a temporary reduction element, perform a reduction operation using the particular element and the temporary reduction element, and provide, as a new temporary reduction element, a result of performing the reduction operation using the particular element and the temporary reduction element. The vector reduction circuit also comprises an output circuit configured to provide, for output as a reduction of the input vector, a new temporary reduction element corresponding to a result of performing the reduction operation using a last element of the input vector.
