Abstract: An electronic device for performing a multiply and accumulate (MAC) operation includes at least one MAC unit, a memory, at least one 8b×8b operator, at least one 8b×4b operator, at least one 4b×4b operator, a bit shifter, an adder, at least one accumulator, and a processor. The processor receives first bit string data and second bit string data which include 12 bits, divides the first bit string data into 4 bits and 8 bits, divides the second bit string data into 4 bits and 8 bits, outputs two 8-bit results corresponding to activation 8-bit, weight 8-bit (A8W8) by using the bit shifter and a first accumulator on the basis of determining to output an A8W8 result, and outputs one 12-bit result corresponding to activation 12-bit, weight 12-bit (A12W12) on the basis of determining to output an A12W12 result.

Abstract: An electronic device may include a processing element (PE) array, a local memory which is configured with a plurality of local memory blocks and which stores data on a plurality of feature maps processed in the PE array, and a control core configured to control the PE array and the local memory. The control core may control the local memory such that at least one local memory block from among the plurality of local memory blocks is turned off based on a size of a feature map corresponding to a layer.

Abstract: An electronic device for reducing a screen providing time and a control method thereof are provided.

Abstract: An electronic device and control method for selecting a scaler based on image characteristics are provided. The electronic device includes at least one processor, a display, and a plurality of scalers including a first scaler and a second scaler. The at least one processor generates a first temporary upscaling image of an image by using an algorithm of the first scaler and generate a second temporary up scaling image of the image by using an algorithm of the second scaler. The at least one processor identifies a difference value of a pixel between the first temporary upscaling image and the second temporary upscaling image. The at least one processor selects one scaler based on the identified difference value and a preconfigured threshold value. The at least one processor upscales the image and controls the display to display the upscaled image.

Abstract: A method for multitasking in an electronic device is provided, the method including: displaying a first one of a plurality of function execution screens as a top layer screen on a display unit of the electronic device; receiving, by the electronic device, a first touch input; and displaying, in response to the first touch input, a first layer separation object for causing a second one of the plurality of function execution screens to be at least partially displayed as the top layer screen on the display unit; wherein the first layer separation object is displayed concurrently with the first function execution screen.
