Original Abstract Submitted
A memory circuit includes a column of memory cells configured to receive a set of kth bits of a number H of bits of each input data element of a plurality of input data elements, and each memory cell of the column of memory cells is configured to multiply the kth bit of a corresponding input data element of the plurality of data elements with a first weight data element stored in the memory cell, and to generate a corresponding first product data element. The memory circuit includes an adder tree configured to generate a summation data element based on each of the first product data elements.
