NEURAL PROCESSING UNIT, NEURAL PROCESSING SYSTEM, AND APPLICATION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18342385 Titled 'NEURAL PROCESSING UNIT, NEURAL PROCESSING SYSTEM, AND APPLICATION SYSTEM'

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a neural processing unit that can perform various tasks, specifically focusing on a first neural network operation. The unit consists of a processing core that executes the neural network operation, a hardware block that can be reconfigured as a hardware core to perform specific tasks, and at least one processor that distributes a portion of the overall work to the hardware block based on the workload of the processing core.


Original Abstract Submitted

Provided is a neural processing unit that performs application-work including a first neural network operation, the neural processing unit includes a first processing core configured to execute the first neural network operation, a hardware block reconfigurable as a hardware core configured to perform hardware block-work, and at least one processor configured to execute computer-readable instructions to distribute a part of the application-work as the hardware block-work to the hardware block based on a first workload of the first processing core.
