Abstract:
A computation unit for performing a computation of a neural network layer is disclosed. A number of processing element (PE) units are arranged in an array. First input values are provided in parallel in an input dimension of the array during a first processing period, and a second input values are provided in parallel in the input dimension during a second processing period. Computations are performed by the PE units based on stored weight values. An adder coupled to the first set of PE units generates a first sum of results of the computations by the first set of PE units during the first processing cycle, and generates a second sum of results of the computations during the second processing cycle. A first accumulator coupled to the first adder stores the first sum, and further shifts the first sum to a second accumulator prior to storing the second sum.
