US Patent 11182128 Multiply-accumulate operation device, multiply-accumulate operation methods, and systems

A multiply-accumulate calculation device, a multiply-accumulate calculation method, and a system for efficiently performing a multiply-accumulate calculation are provided. The multiply-accumulate operation device includes a plurality of memory blocks that store a plurality of multiplied elements and performs a multiply-accumulate operation on input data. Each of memory blocks includes stores one bit value of the same bit digit of a plurality of multiplied elements. An input data generation unit generates input data by extracting data of a same bit digit from the plurality of multiplication elements. A control unit that accumulates and adds value of the multiply-accumulate operation result, and a data memory that stores the accumulated addition value as a multiplication element of the next multiply-accumulate operation.
