    Abstract: A semiconductor device capable of reducing power consumption is provided. A group controller detects a zero weight parameter having a zero value among “n×m” weight parameters to be transferred to a weight parameter buffer. Then, when receiving the zero weight parameter as its input, the group controller exchanges the “n×m” weight parameters to be transferred to the weight parameter buffer so that all multiplication results of the “n” multipliers included in a target multiplier group that is one of the “m” multiplier groups are zero. The group controller controls the target multiplier group to be disabled, and exchanges the “n×m” pixel data to be transferred to the data input buffer, based on the exchange of the “n×m” weight parameters.

    Abstract: A semiconductor device capable of preventing a sharp variation in current consumption in neural network processing is provided. A dummy circuit outputs dummy data to at least one or more of n number of MAC circuits and causes the at least one or more of n number of MAC circuits to perform a dummy calculation and to output dummy output data. An output-side DMA controller transfers pieces of normal output data from the n number of MAC circuits to a memory, by use of n number of channels, respectively, and does not transfer the dummy output data to the memory. In this semiconductor device, the at least one or more of n number of MAC circuits perform the dummy calculation in a period from a timing at which the output-side DMA controller ends data transfer to the memory to a timing at which the input-side DMA controller starts data transfer from the memory.

    Abstract: The execution time of a self diagnosis program is reduced. A compiler apparatus includes: a specify unit that specifies, out of a plurality of resources included in a diagnosis target apparatus, a use resource group being a set of resources used by an instruction string included in an object program executed on the diagnosis target apparatus; a determine unit that determines, in accordance with the specified use resource group, a target resource group being a set of resources to be targets of a self diagnosis in the diagnosis target apparatus; and an output unit that outputs, for causing the self diagnosis on the determined target resource group to be executed in the diagnosis target apparatus, information based on the target resource group to the diagnosis target apparatus.
