SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SHIFT LAST MULTIPLICATION AND ACCUMULATION (MAC) PROCESS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240201951 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SHIFT LAST MULTIPLICATION AND ACCUMULATION (MAC) PROCESS
The abstract describes a method for performing a shift last multiplication and accumulation (MAC) process. A processing circuit can multiply inputs and accumulate the results to generate an output.
- The processing circuit multiplies a first input by a first bit of a second input to obtain a first intermediate output.
- It then multiplies a third input by a first bit of a fourth input to obtain a second intermediate output.
- The processing circuit sums the first and second intermediate outputs to obtain a first sum.
- Next, it multiplies the first input by a second bit of the second input to obtain a third intermediate output.
- It also multiplies the third input by a second bit of the fourth input to obtain a fourth intermediate output.
- The processing circuit sums the third and fourth intermediate outputs to obtain a second sum.
- Finally, the processing circuit generates an output by accumulating the first sum and the second sum.
