Abstract
Disclosed herein includes a system, a method, and a device for processing and converting data using matrix operations. Circuitry can partition an input of a first data format across a plurality of lookup tables each residing in a respective memory. The circuitry can access weight information from a load store memory, and the partitioned input on a per column basis from the plurality of lookup tables. The circuitry can perform a number of multiply-accumulate (MAC) operations per cycle between the weight information from the load store memory and the partitioned input read on a per column basis from the plurality of lookup tables. The number of MAC operations performed per cycle can correspond to a total number of columns of the plurality of lookup tables. The circuitry can generate, responsive to the MAC operations on the partitioned input, a plurality of outputs in a second data format.
