Abstract
Integrated circuits with dot product circuitry are provided. The dot product circuitry may be configured to generate partial products of different ranks based on the inputs. The partial products may be organized into corresponding groups based on their ranks. Each group of partial products having the same rank can then be compressed using a compressor/reduction tree. At least some of the compressed partial product values may be shifted between the different groups to maintain the proper offset. Each partial product may have an associated one's to two's complement conversion bit. The conversion bits of the various partial product groups can be separately aggregated and then injected into the compressor tree at one or more locations.
