Abstract:
A neural network device includes a shift register circuit, a control circuit, and a processing circuit. The shift register circuit includes registers configured to, in each cycle of cycles, transfer stored data to a next register and store new data received from a previous register to a current register. The control circuit is configured to sequentially input data of input activations included in an input feature map into the shift register circuit in a preset order. The processing circuit, includes crossbar array groups that receive input activations from at least one of the registers and perform a multiply-accumulate (MAC) operation with respect to the received input activation and weights, is configured to accumulate and add at least some operation results output from the crossbar array groups in a preset number of cycles to obtain an output activation in an output feature map.
