ABSTRACT:
An accumulator is provided which includes a plurality of summing circuits, a plurality of switches, and a control unit for controlling the transmission of data generated by the summing circuits. Each summing circuit generates intermediate sums and includes a port for transmitting the intermediate sums. The switches are connected between the ports of the summing circuits. The control unit is programmable to operate the switches and enable the ports at various times, thus allowing the accumulator to be configured to perform any of a variety of summing operations.
