    Abstract: A system may comprise a neural processing unit (NPU) including at least one memory and a plurality of processing elements (PEs) capable of performing operations for at least one artificial neural network (ANN) model. The plurality of PEs may include an adder, a multiplier, and an accumulator. The plurality of PEs may include a first group of PEs configured to operate on a first portion of a clock signal and a second group of PEs configured to operate on a second portion of the clock signal.

    Abstract: A neural processing unit may comprise a first circuitry including a plurality of processing elements (PEs) configured to perform operations of an artificial neural network model, the plurality of PEs including an adder, a multiplier, and an accumulator, and a clock signal supply circuitry configured to output one or more clock signals. When the plurality of PEs include a first group of PEs and a second group of PEs, a first clock signal among the one or more clock signals, may be supplied to the first group of PEs and a second clock signal among the one or more clock signals, may be supplied to the second group of PEs. At least one of the first and second clock signals may have a preset phase based on a phase of an original clock signal.
