Patent ID: 11734002

Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a counting device and counting method. The device includes a storage unit, a counting unit, and a register unit, where the storage unit may be connected to the counting unit for storing input data to be counted and storing a number of elements satisfying a given condition in the input data after counting; the register unit may be configured to store an address where input data to be counted is stored in the storage unit; and the counting unit may be connected to the register unit, and may be configured to acquire a counting instruction, read a storage address of the input data to be counted in the register unit according to the counting instruction, acquire corresponding input data to be counted in the storage unit, perform statistical counting on a number of elements in the input data to be counted that satisfy the given condition, and obtain a counting result. The counting device and the method may improve the computation efficiency by writing an algorithm of counting a number of elements that satisfy a given condition in input data into an instruction form.
