Abstract
An integrated circuit including a data architecture including N adders and N multipliers configured to receive operands. The data architecture receives instructions for selecting a data flow between the N multipliers and the N adders of the data architecture. The selected data flow includes the options: (1) a first data flow using the N multipliers and the N adders to provide a multiply-accumulate mode and (2) a second data flow to provide a multiply-reduce mode.
