Abstract
The present disclosure relates to devices for using a configurable stacked architecture for a fixed function datapath with an accelerator for accelerating an operation or a layer of a deep neural network (DNN). The stacked architecture may have a fixed function datapath that includes one or more configurable micro-execution units that execute a series of vector, scalar, reduction, broadcasting, and normalization operations for a DNN layer operation. The fixed function datapath may be customizable based on the DNN or the operation.
