Abstract:
A computation circuit includes a plurality of processing elements and a common accumulator. The plurality of processing elements are sequentially coupled in series, and performs a multiply and accumulate (MAC) operation on a weight signal and at least one of two or more input signals received in each unit cycle. The common accumulator is sequentially and cyclically coupled to first to Kth processing elements among the plurality of processing elements, and configured to receive a computation value outputted from a processing element coupled thereto among the first to Kth processing elements, and store computation information. The K is decided based on values of the two or more input signals and the number of guard bits included in one processing element.
