Abstract
A method for multiple copies of a set of multi-kernel set operations in a hardware accelerated neural network includes a word line for receiving a pixel value of an input image. A bit line communicates a modified pixel value. An analog memory cell including a first capacitor stores a first kernel weight of a first kernel in one of a plurality of kernel sets such that the pixel value is operated on by the first kernel weight to produce the modified pixel value. A charge connection connects the first capacitor to at least a second capacitor storing a second kernel weight of a related kernel of a second one of the plurality of kernel sets such that charge is shared between the first capacitor and at least the second capacitor to normalize the first kernel weight and the second kernel weight.
