Abstract
Neural network hardware acceleration is performed by an integrated circuit including sequentially connected computation modules. Each computation module includes a processor and an adder. The processor includes circuitry configured to receive an input data value and a weight value, and perform a mathematical operation on the input data value and the weight value to produce a resultant data value. The adder includes circuitry configured to receive the resultant data value directly from the processor, receive one of a preceding resultant data value and a preceding sum value directly from a preceding adder of a preceding computation module, add the resultant data value to the one of the preceding resultant data value and the preceding sum value to produce a sum value, and transmit one of the resultant data value and the sum value to the memory or directly to a subsequent adder of a subsequent computation module.
