Summary:A dot product array comprises dot product circuits each to process a respective pair of first and second input vectors to generate a respective dot product result. In a real number mode, each dot product result and vector element represents a respective real number. In a hypercomplex number mode, an input vector manipulation is applied to at least one of the first/second input vectors to be supplied to each dot product circuit, to cause the dot product array to generate hypercomplex dot product results each indicating a sum of hypercomplex products of corresponding pairs of hypercomplex numbers. In the hypercomplex number mode, respective subsets of elements of the first/second input vectors represent respective hypercomplex numbers, for which respective components are represented by different elements of the subset, and each hypercomplex dot product result comprises components represented by the dot product results generated by a corresponding group of at least two dot product circuits.
