Abstract:
A convolution operation device includes a convolution calculation module, a memory and a buffer device. The convolution calculation module has a plurality of convolution units, and each convolution unit performs a convolution operation according to a filter and a plurality of current data, and leaves a part of the current data after the convolution operation. The buffer device is coupled to the memory and the convolution calculation module for retrieving a plurality of new data from the memory and inputting the new data to each of the convolution units. The new data are not a duplicate of the current data. A convolution operation method is also disclosed.
