Abstract
Examples herein relate to linear transformation accelerators. An example linear transformation accelerator may include a crossbar array programmed to calculate a linear transformation. The crossbar array has a plurality of words lines, a plurality of bit lines, and a memory cell coupled between each unique combination of one word line and one bit line, where the memory cells are programmed according to a linear transformation matrix. The plurality of word lines are to receive an input vector, and the plurality of bit lines are to output an output vector representing a linear transformation of the input vector.
