More Information
Summary:A neural processing device, a processing element included therein and a method for operating various formats of the neural processing device are provided. The neural processing device includes at least one neural processor, a shared memory shared by the at least one neural processor, and a global interconnection configured to transmit data between the at least one neural processor and the shared memory, wherein each of the at least one neural processor comprises at least one processing element, each of the at least one processing element receives an input in a first format and thereby performs an operation, and receives an input in a second format that is different from the first format and thereby performs an operation if a format conversion signal is received, and the first format and the second format have a same number of bits.
