Abstract
To provide native hardware support for complex operations such as a beam search operation, an integrated circuit device can be implemented with multiple computational circuit blocks coupled in series to form a pipeline. Each computational circuit block includes an arithmetic logic unit (ALU) circuit having a first numeric input, a second numeric input, a primary result output, and a secondary output. The ALU circuit is programmable to perform an arithmetic operation on the first numeric input and the second numeric input to generate the primary result output, and provide one of the first numeric input or the second numeric input to the secondary output, which is fed back to the ALU circuit.
