Dense digital arithmetic circuitry utilization for fixed-point machine learning

Abstract:

Systems and methods are related to improving throughput of neural networks in integrated circuits by combining values in operands to increase compute density. A system includes an integrated circuit (IC) having multiplier circuitry. The IC receives a first value and a second value in a first operand. The IC performs a multiplication operation, via the multiplier circuitry, on the first operand and a second operand to produce a first multiplied product based at least in part on the first value and a second multiplied product based at least in part on the second value.
