Electronic device and method for inference Binary and Ternary Neural Networks

摘要

An embodiment provides a method of calculating a dot product for binary data, ternary data, non-binary data, and non ternary data using an electronic device. This method involves designing the dot product to be calculated from the ternary data. The method involves designing a fused bitwise data path to support dot product computation for binary and ternary data. The method includes designing an FPL data path to calculate the dot product between one of the non-binary and non-sternary data and one of the binary and ternary data. The method includes calculating a dot product for binary data and ternary data, and distributing the dot product of one of the non-binary and ternary data and one of the binary and ternary data to the fused bitwise data path and the FPL data path. .
