Abstract: The disclosure discloses an apparatus and a method for microbial cell counting, and belongs to the field of cell counting. In the present application, by converting a traditional automated intermittent counting process into a continuous counting process, the cell sap fixed in a blood cell plate in a traditional counter becomes the cell sap flowing in a microchannel, so as to prolong the cell detection time and distance. The size of the microchannel is slightly greater than the diameter of microbial cells, so as to ensure that the cells flow through the cross section of the microchannel one by one. At the same time, since the diameter of the counterbores communicated by the microchannel is slightly greater than the width of the microchannel, the flow rate of the cell sap slows down when the cell sap flows to the counterbores.

Abstract: A fully connected operation method and a processing device for performing the same are provided. The fully connected operation method designates distribution data and broadcast data. The distribution data is divided into basic data blocks and distributed to parallel processing units, and the broadcast data is broadcasted to the parallel processing units. Operations between the basic data blocks and the broadcasted data are carried out by the parallel processing units before the results are returned to a main unit for further processing. The technical solutions disclosed by the present disclosure provide short Operation time and low energy consumption.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods of bit-serial, in-memory, execution of at least an nth layer of a multi-layer neural network in a first on-chip processor memory circuitry portion contemporaneous with prefetching and storing layer weights associated with the (n+1)st layer of the multi-layer neural network in a second on-chip processor memory circuitry portion. The storage of layer weights in on-chip processor memory circuitry beneficially decreases the time required to transfer the layer weights upon execution of the (n+1)st layer of the multi-layer neural network by the first on-chip processor memory circuitry portion. In addition, the on-chip processor memory circuitry may include a third on-chip processor memory circuitry portion used to store intermediate and/or final input/output values associated with one or more layers included in the multi-layer neural network.
