Abstract

The invention provides a convolution operation chip and communication equipment. The convolution operation chip comprises an M*N multiplier accumulator array, a data cache module and an output control module; the M*N multiplier accumulator array comprises a first multiplier accumulator window, and a processing unit PE<X, Y> of the first multiplier accumulator window is used for conducting multiplication operation on convolution data of the PE<X, Y> and convolution parameters of the PE<X, Y> and transmitting the convolution parameters of the PE<X, Y> to PE<X, Y+1> and transmitting the convolution data of the PE<X, Y> to PE<X-1, Y+1> to serve as multipliers of multiplication operation between the PE<X, Y+1> and the PE<X-1, Y+1>; the data cache module is used for transmitting the convolution data and the convolution parameters to the first multiplier accumulator window; the output control module is used for outputting a convolution result. According to the convolution operation chip and the communication equipment, the RAM access frequency can be decreased and the RAM access stress can be relieved while the array resource utilization rate is increased.

Description

technical field [0001] This application relates to the field of artificial intelligence, and more specifically, to a convolution operation chip and communication equipment. Background technique [0002] Deep Neural Networks (DNN for short) technology has become a representative algorithm in the field of artificial intelligence. Key technologies such as character recognition, image classification or speech recognition based on deep neural network technology have been widely used in search engines and intelligence products such as mobile phones. Among them, the most effective and widely used neural network algorithm is the convolutional neural network (Convolutional Neural Network, "CNN") algorithm, referred to as "convolution operation". In the prior art, the core computing unit of the CNN algorithm is the multiply-add operation, and the multiplication accumulator (Multiplication Accumulator, referred to as "MAC") array is often used for matrix multiplication, and the convol...
