Abstract
The present disclosure discloses a processing element and a neural processing device including the processing element. The processing element includes a weight register configured to store a weight, an input activation register configured to store input activation, a flexible multiplier configured to generate result data by performing a multiplication operation of the weight and the input activation by using a first multiplier of a first precision or using both the first multiplier and a second multiplier of the first precision in response to a calculation mode signal and a saturating adder configured to generate a partial sum by using the result data.
