Claim 0:
1. A method comprising:
partitioning, by circuitry, an input of a first data format across a plurality of lookup tables each residing in a respective memory, the respective memories connected in parallel to the circuitry;
accessing, by the circuitry, weight information from a load store memory connected to the circuitry, and the partitioned input on a per column basis from the plurality of lookup tables;
performing, by a plurality of multiply-accumulate (MAC) units within the circuitry, a number of MAC operations per cycle between the weight information from the load store memory and the partitioned input read on a per column basis from the plurality of lookup tables, the number of MAC operations performed per cycle corresponding to a total number of columns of the plurality of lookup tables; and
generating, by the circuitry responsive to the MAC operations on the partitioned input, a plurality of outputs in a second data format.
