Claim 11:
12. The processing system of claim 8 wherein the plurality of multiplier-accumulator execution pipelines of each of the first and second processing components further includes:
a first multiplier-accumulator execution pipeline configurable to: (i) input first stage data from the first memory of the associated processing component, (ii) perform a first plurality of multiply and accumulate operations using the first stage data and a first set of filter weights, and (iii) output first processed data to the first memory of the associated processing component, and
a second multiplier-accumulator execution pipeline configurable to: (i) input the first processed data, (ii) perform a second plurality of multiply and accumulate operations using the first processed data and a second set of filter weights, and (iii) output second processed data, and
wherein the first multiplier-accumulator execution pipeline is configurable to perform a portion of the first plurality of multiply and accumulate operations concurrently with respect to performance of the second plurality of multiply and accumulate operations by the second multiplier-accumulator execution pipeline.
