Abstract
A device includes multiplication and accumulation (MAC) cells, a feature processor circuit, and a weight processor circuit. The feature processor circuit receives, from a memory input units each comprising input feature elements from different respective channels of an input tensor, generates extended feature units each comprising an input feature element from each of the input units and from a common channel of the input tensor, and provides the extended feature units to respective MAC cells. The weight processor circuit receives, from the memory, weight units each comprising weight elements from different respective channels of a kernel, generates extended weight units each comprising a weight element from each of the weight units and from a common channel of the kernel, and provides the extended weight units to respective MAC cells. Each MAC cell is configured to multiply the input feature elements of the extended feature unit provided by the feature processor circuit by the respective weight elements of the extended weight unit provided by the weight processor circuit in parallel and output a sum of the products.
