Abstract

Aspects for vector operations in neural network are described herein. The aspects may include a vector caching unit configured to store a first vector and a second vector, wherein the first vector includes one or more first elements and the second vector includes one or more second elements. The aspects may further include one or more adders and a combiner. The one or more adders may be configured to respectively add each of the first elements to a corresponding one of the second elements to generate one or more addition results. The combiner may be configured to combine a combiner configured to combine the one or more addition results into an output vector.
