Abstract

Systems and methods for a unified reconfigurable neural central processing unit is provided. In one aspect, a neural central processing unit is in communication with a memory, wherein the neural central processing unit is configured to transition between a binary neural network accelerator mode and a central processing unit mode, wherein, in the binary neural network accelerator mode, the memory is configured as an image memory and weight memories, wherein, in the central processing unit mode, the memory is reconfigured, from the image memory and the weight memories, to a data cache.
