Abstract

Disclosed circuits and methods involve a first register configured to store of a first convolutional neural network (CNN) instruction during processing of the first CNN instruction and a second register configured to store a second CNN instruction during processing of the second CNN instruction. Each of a plurality of address generation circuits is configured to generate one or more addresses in response to an input CNN instruction. Control circuitry is configured to select one of the first CNN instruction or the second CNN instruction as input to the address generation circuits.
