Abstract:
Disclosed are methods, devices and systems for all-in-one signal processing, linear and non-linear vector arithmetic accelerator. The accelerator, which in some implementations can operate as a companion co-processor and accelerator to a main system, can be configured to perform various linear and non-linear arithmetic operations, and is customized to provide shorter execution times and fewer task operations for corresponding arithmetic vector operation, thereby providing an overall energy saving. The compact accelerator can be implemented in devices in which energy consumption and footprint of the electronic circuits are important, such as in Internet of Things (IoT) devices, in sensors and as part of artificial intelligence systems.

Claim (Index 1):
A configurable data processing accelerator for processing of a plurality of vector operations, comprising:\n a configure register to receive and store a command for a vector operation and associated information from a data processing unit of an electronic system, the associated information including read addresses of system memory where vector data is located, data length of the vector data, and write addresses of the system memory where to write an output of the vector operation; an address generator configured to generate an internal address for each vector of the vector data; an internal memory circuit configured to store the vector data based on the generated internal address; a compute unit comprising an arithmetic circuit including adders and multipliers, the compute unit configured to receive vector data from the internal memory circuit and to execute the vector operation in a single pass through the compute unit to produce an output that is a result of the vector operation, wherein the compute unit is configurable to activate only a subset of the adders and multipliers therein in accordance with the vector operation.
