Method for accumulating multiplied m bit values using bit-line processors
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11941407B2) discloses a method for accumulating a plurality of multiplied M bit values using a unique approach. The method involves utilizing bit-line processors to separately multiply each bit of two multiplicands A and B, summing the results in multiple rows of multiplication and summing units, and accumulating the output in accumulator units. The process includes passing carry values along the bits of the result from the least significant bit to the most significant bit. Additionally, the method involves pipelining the multiplicands to a multiply-accumulator, enabling the continuous accumulation of multiplicands during the process. The bit-wise multiplying and accumulating are implemented in bit-line processors, ensuring efficient processing.
Furthermore, the patent also describes a unit for accumulating multiplied M bit values, comprising a receiving unit, a bit-wise multiplier, and a bit-wise accumulator. The bit-wise multiplier consists of multiple rows of multiplication units and summing units, while the bit-wise accumulator includes accumulator units to accumulate the output. The unit is designed to handle the pipelining of multiplicands, ensuring a continuous process of accumulation. The unit's functionality is enhanced by the use of bit-line processors, ensuring effective bit-wise multiplication and accumulation. Overall, the patent presents a novel method and unit for efficiently accumulating multiplied M bit values, offering a unique approach to processing and accumulating data in a bit-wise manner.
