Abstract
A memory processing unit can be configured to compute partial products between one or more elements of a first matrix stored in a first storage location and sequential bits of one or more elements of a second matrix stored in a second storage location. The partial products can be calculated utilizing zero bit skipping to increase throughput and or reduce energy consumption. The partial products for each column of elements can be accumulated and bit shifted to compute the dot product of the first and second matrix.
