Title:
NEURAL NETWORK PROCESSOR COMPRISING BIT CONVERSION DEVICE AND METHOD THEREOF
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2019/165679
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A neural network processor and a method for performing bit conversion on data of a neural network using the neural network processor. The neural network processor comprises a bit conversion device (101); the bit conversion device (101) comprises an input interface (102), a control unit (105), a data conversion unit (103), and an output interface (104); the control unit (105) is configured to generate a control signal for the data conversion unit (103); the input interface (102) is configured to receive original data; the data conversion unit (103) is configured to perform bit conversion on the original data according to the control signal to convert the original data into a bit conversion result expressed by fewer bits; the output interface (104) is configured to output the bit conversion result from the bit conversion device (101). By means of the method, the number of bits used for expressing data can be reduced, the hardware costs and power consumption required for calculation can be reduced, and the calculation speed can be increased.
