ABSTRACT:
An electronic device for performing convolution operations comprises shift registers for receiving binary input values representative of an original matrix, synapses for storing weights correlated with a mask matrix, and neurons for outputting a binary result dependent on the sum of the binary values weighted by the synapses. Each synapse has a conductance correlated with the weight stored and dependent upon the binary input value. Each neuron generates the binary result in dependence on the total conductance of the corresponding synapses.
