ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING ACCELERATOR FOR PROCESSING FUNCTION AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE ELECTRONIC DEVICE

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240428059 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING ACCELERATOR FOR PROCESSING FUNCTION AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE ELECTRONIC DEVICE



Original Abstract Submitted

an electronic device includes: a neural processing unit (npu) configured to process an activation function; and an accelerator in the npu, wherein the accelerator includes: a function processing block including at least one sub-operation block, and a final output block connected to the function processing block, wherein the at least one sub-operation block includes: a first sub-operation block configured to calculate an approximation output value for the activation function by processing the activation function based on a first point number and a first bit resolution, and a second sub-operation block configured to calculate a detailed output value for the activation function by processing the activation function based on a second point number and a second bit resolution, and wherein the final output block is configured to calculate a final output value corresponding to the activation function based on the approximation output value and the detailed output value.
