Abstract
A memory control unit for handling data stored in a memory device includes a first interface to an interconnection with at least one memory bank; a second interface for communicating with a data requesting unit; and a memory quantization unit. The memory quantization unit is configured to: obtain, via the first interface, a first weight value from the at least one memory bank; quantize the first weight value to generate at least one quantized weight value having a shorter bit length than a bit length of the first weight value; and communicate the at least one quantized weight value to the data requesting unit via the second interface.
