Abstract
Disclosed approaches for circuitry that implements a softmax function include difference calculation circuitry configured to calculate differences between combinations of elements, z−z, of a vector. First lookup circuitry is configured to lookup and output representations of exponential values, eassociated with the differences in response to input of the differences. Each adder circuit of N adder circuits sums a subset of the exponential values output from the first lookup circuitry and a value of 1. The sum output by each adder circuit denotes a denominator of a plurality of denominators of the softmax function. Second lookup circuitry is configured with quotients and looks-up and outputs quotients associated with the plurality of denominators as results of the softmax function.
