Abstract

A system for accelerating an RNN network including: a first cache, which is used for outputting Wx1 to WxN or Wh1 to WhN in parallel in N paths in a cyclic switching manner, and the degree of parallelism is k; a second cache, which is used for outputting xt or ht-1 in the cyclic switching manner; a vector multiplication circuit, which is used for, by using N groups of multiplication arrays, respectively calculating Wx1xt to WxNxt, or respectively calculating Wh1ht-1 to WhNht-1; an addition circuit, which is used for calculating Wx1xt+Wh1ht-1+b1 to WxNxt+WhNht-1+bN; an activation circuit, which is used for performing an activation operation according to an output of the addition circuit; a state updating circuit, which is used for acquiring ct-1, calculating ct and ht, updating ct-1, and sending ht to the second cache; a bias data cache; a vector cache; and a cell state cache.
