Abstract: A buffer device includes input lines, an input buffer unit and a remapping unit. The input lines are coupled to a memory and configured to be inputted with data from the memory in a current clock. The input buffer unit is coupled to the input lines and configured to buffer one part of the inputted data and output the part of the inputted data in a later clock. The remapping unit is coupled to the input lines and the input buffer unit, and configured to generate remap data for a convolution operation according to the data on the input lines and the output of the input buffer unit in the current clock. A convolution operation method for a data stream is also disclosed.

Abstract: A convolution operation method includes the following steps of: performing convolution operations for data inputted in channels, respectively, so as to output a plurality of convolution results; and alternately summing the convolution results of the channels in order so as to output a sum result. A convolution operation device executing the convolution operation method is also disclosed.
