Ugo Maria IANNUZZI has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Convolutional network hardware accelerator device, system and method
    Patent number: 11740870
    Abstract: A Multiple Accumulate (MAC) hardware accelerator includes a plurality of multipliers. The plurality of multipliers multiply a digit-serial input having a plurality of digits by a parallel input having a plurality of bits by sequentially multiplying individual digits of the digit-serial input by the plurality of bits of the parallel input. A result is generated based on the multiplication of the digit-serial input by the parallel input. An accelerator framework may include multiple MAC hardware accelerators, and may be used to implement a convolutional neural network. The MAC hardware accelerators may multiple an input weight by an input feature by sequentially multiplying individual digits of the input weight by the input feature.
