A preconditioned conjugate gradient (PCG) solver, embedded in an electronic device to perform a simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) operation, includes an image database, a factor graph database, and a back-end processor, wherein the back-end processor is configured to receive an image from the image database to perform re-localization, receive, from the factor graph database, data for calculating six degrees of freedom (DoF)-related components, construct a matrix including the six degrees of freedom-related components based on the received data, and load and rearrange the matrix and a vector, to perform calculation on each block of each row of the matrix and the vector, then output first data, and shift second data to a location of the first data.

Method of accelerating simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) and device using same

A semiconductor device includes a scan input circuit, a master latch, a slave latch, a first inverter, and a scan output circuit. The scan input circuit is configured to receive a scan input signal, a first data signal, and a scan enable signal and select any one of the first data signal and the scan input signal in response to the scan enable signal to output a first select signal. The master latch is configured to latch the first select signal and output a first output signal. The slave latch is configured to latch the first output signal and output a second output signal. The first inverter is configured to invert the second output signal. The scan output circuit is configured to receive a signal output from the slave latch and an external signal and output a first scan output signal.
