Abstract
Various arrangements for performing successive vector-matrix multiplication may include sequentially performing a first vector-matrix multiplication operation for each bit-order of values in an input vector. The first vector-matrix multiplication operation for each bit-order may generate an analog output. For each analog output generated by the vector-matrix multiplication operation, an analog output may be converted into one or more digital bit values, and the one or more digital bit values may be sent to a second vector-matrix multiplication operation.
