More Information
Summary:An electronic device comprises a data transmitting interface configured to transmit data, a memory configured to store the data, a processor configured to execute an application program, and an accelerator coupled to the processor via a bus. According to an operation request transmitted from the processor, the accelerator reads the data from the memory, performs an operation to the data to generate computed data, and stores the computed data in the memory. The electronic device can improve computational efficiency. An accelerator and an accelerating method applicable to a neural network operation are also provided.
