Abstract
A microprocessor for neural network computing having a mapping table, a microcode memory, and a microcode decoding finite-state machine (FSM) is disclosed. According to the mapping table, a macroinstruction is mapped to an address on the microcode memory. The microcode decoding FSM decodes contents which are retrieved from the microcode memory according to the address, to get microinstructions involving at least one microinstruction loop that is repeated to operate a datapath to complete the macroinstruction.
