Abstract
An integrated circuit including a plurality of processing components, including first and second processing components, wherein each processing component includes first memory to store image data and a plurality of multiplier-accumulator execution pipelines, wherein each multiplier-accumulator execution pipeline includes a plurality of multiplier-accumulator circuits to, in operation, perform multiply and accumulate operations using data from the first memory and filter weights. The first processing component is configured to process all of the data associated with all of stages of a first image frame via the plurality of multiplier-accumulator execution pipelines of the first processing component. The second processing component is configured to process all of the data associated with all of stages of a second image frame via the plurality of multiplier-accumulator execution pipelines of the second processing component, wherein the first image frame and the second image frame are successive image frames.
