Abstract:
A neural processor includes one or more neural engine circuits and a planar engine circuit. The neural engine circuits can perform convolution operations of first input data with one or more kernels to generate a first output. The planar engine circuit receives second input data that corresponds to a version of the first input data. The planar engine circuit also receives third input data that includes fourth input data and fifth input data stored together in a dimension of third input data. The planar engine circuit performs a first elementwise operation between a version of the second input data and a version of the fourth input data to generate intermediate data. The planar engine circuit performs a second elementwise operation between the intermediate data and a version of the fifth input data to generate a second output.
