Assignee: FLEX LOGIX TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
Field: Computer technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 7:
8. A processing system comprising:
a plurality of processing components, wherein each processing component includes:
first memory to store image data;
a plurality of multiplier-accumulator execution pipelines, coupled to the first memory, wherein each multiplier-accumulator execution pipeline includes a plurality of multiplier-accumulator circuits configurable to perform multiply and accumulate operations using data from the first memory and the filter weights;

wherein:
a first processing component of the plurality of processing components is configurable to process all of the data associated with all stages of a first image frame via the plurality of multiplier-accumulator execution pipelines of the first processing component, and
a second processing component of the plurality of processing components is configurable to process all of the data associated with all stages of a second image frame via the plurality of multiplier-accumulator execution pipelines of the second processing component, wherein the first processing component processes the data associated with the stages of the first image frame concurrently with respect to the second processing component processing the data associated with the stages of the second image frame and wherein the first image frame and the second image frame are successive image frames; and

wherein the first processing component is separate from the second processing component and the first and second processing components are electrically connected.
