Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 0:
1. A method, comprising:
receiving, in a buffer in an integrated circuit device having an inference logic circuit, image data having pixel values;
generating, by the inference logic circuit and from the pixel values, inputs to a first set of artificial neurons;
identifying, by the inference logic circuit, a first region of memory cells of the integrated circuit device having threshold voltages programmed to represent a first weight matrix for the first set of artificial neurons;
instructing, by the inference logic circuit, voltage drivers in the integrated circuit device to apply first voltages to the first region of memory cells according to the inputs;
obtaining, by the inference logic circuit and based on the first region of memory cells responsive to the first voltages, first data from an operation of multiplication and accumulation applied on the first weight matrix and the inputs; and
applying, by the inference logic circuits, activation functions of the first set of artificial neurons to the first data to generate second data representative of outputs of the first set of artificial neurons.
