Abstract
A model calculating unit for calculating a neural layer of a multilayer perceptron model having a hardwired processor core developed in hardware for calculating a definitely specified computing algorithm in coupled functional blocks. The processor core is designed to calculate, as a function of one or multiple input variables of an input variable vector, of a weighting matrix having weighting factors and an offset value specified for each neuron, an output variable for each neuron for a neural layer of a multilayer perceptron model having a number of neurons, a sum of the values of the input variables weighted by the weighting factor, determined by the neuron and the input variable, and the offset value specified for the neuron being calculated for each neuron and the result being transformed using an activation function in order to obtain the output variable for the neuron.
