Abstract
An apparatus includes a memory and a circuit coupled to the memory. The memory may be configured as a local buffer to store all or a portion of a first array of values and all or a portion of a second array of values. The circuit may be configured to (i) calculate an intermediate array of values by multiplying a converted version of the first array by a converted version of the second array and (ii) calculate an output array comprising a plurality of output values based on values of the intermediate array and a predefined dimensional reduction.
