Abstract
A systolic array of processing elements is connected to receive weight inputs and multiplexed data inputs for operation in feedforward, partially-- or fully-connected neural network mode or in cooperative, competitive neural network mode. Feature vector or two-dimensional image data is retrieved from external data memory and is transformed via input look-up table to input data for the systolic array that performs a convolution with kernal values as weight inputs. The convoluted image or neuron outputs from the systolic array are scaled and transformed via output look-up table for storage in the external data memory.
