Abstract
An electronic calculator comprises a plurality of electronic calculation blocks, each of which is configured to implement one or more respective processing layers of an artificial neural network. The calculation blocks are of at least two different types among: a first type with fixed topology, fixed operation, and fixed parameters, a second type with fixed topology, fixed operation, and modifiable parameters, and a third type with modifiable topology, modifiable operation, and modifiable parameters. For each processing layer implemented by the respective calculation block, the topology is a connection topology for each artificial neuron, the operation is a type of processing to be performed for each artificial neuron, and the parameters include values determined via training of the neural network.
