Abstract

Embodiments of a device include an integrated circuit, a reconfigurable stream switch formed in the integrated circuit along with a plurality of convolution accelerators and an arithmetic unit (810) coupled to the reconfigurable stream switch. The arithmetic unit (810) has at least one input and at least one output. The at least one input is arranged to receive streaming data passed through the reconfigurable stream switch, and the at least one output is arranged to stream resultant data through the reconfigurable stream switch. The arithmetic unit (810) also has a plurality of data paths. At least one of the plurality of data paths is solely dedicated to performance of operations that accelerate an activation function represented in the form of a piece-wise second order polynomial approximation.
