ABSTRACT:
A neural network component includes a plurality of inputs, at least one processing element, at least one output, and a digital memory storing values at addresses respectively corresponding to the at least one processing element, wherein the at least one processing element is arranged to receive a value from the digital memory in response to an input signal, and is instructed to execute one of a plurality of operations by the value that is received from the digital memory.
