Abstract
First to ninth determining units that receive input data of first to ninth tensor product calculating units are disposed. The first to ninth determining units determine whether or not the received data have non-zero data and supply the determined results to the relevant tensor product calculating units. When the first to ninth determining units have determined that all of the received data are zero data, the first to ninth tensor product calculating units do not perform tensor product calculations.
