Abstract: A processor for performing deep learning is provided herein. The processor includes a processing element unit including a plurality of processing elements arranged in a matrix form including a first row of processing elements and a second row of processing elements. The processing elements are fed with filter data by a first data input unit which is connected to the first row processing elements. A second data input unit feeds target data to the processing elements. A shifter composed of registers feeds instructions to the processing elements. A controller in the processor controls the processing elements, the first data input unit and second data input unit to process the filter data and target data, thus providing sum of products (convolution) functionality.
