Title:
MATRIX OPERATOR AND MATRIX OPERATION METHOD FOR ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORK
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2021/020848
Kind Code:
A2
Abstract:
The present invention can provide a matrix operator and a matrix operation method for an artificial neural network, the matrix operator comprising: a first buffer for receiving and storing a first matrix which is a multiplicand matrix; a second buffer for receiving and storing a second matrix which is a multiplier matrix that is multiplied in the first matrix; and an operation unit, which receives a plurality of elements sequentially selected in column units from the first matrix, receives a plurality of elements sequentially selected in row units from the second matrix in correspondence to a column selected from the first matrix, multiplies each of the elements in the column selected from the first matrix by all elements in a row selected from the second matrix, and cumulatively adds multiplication operation results between the columns in the first matrix and the rows in the second matrix, having been sequentially selected, so as to acquire a result matrix which is a matrix multiplication operation result of the first matrix and the second matrix, and thus the present invention can increase operation efficiency and operation speed and reduce power consumption.
