Abstract
A systolic array can be configured to skip distributed operands that have zero-values, resulting in improved resource efficiency. A skip module is introduced to receive operands from memory, identify whether they have a zero value or not, and, if they are nonzero, generate an operand vector including an index before sending the operand vector to a processing element.
