A reconfigurable compute fabric can include multiple nodes, and each node can include multiple tiles with respective processing and storage elements. The tiles can be arranged in an array or grid and can be communicatively coupled. In an example, the tiles can be arranged in a one-dimensional array and each tile can be coupled to its respective adjacent neighbor tiles using a direct bus coupling. Each tile can be further coupled to at least one non-adjacent neighbor tile that is one tile, or device space, away using a passthrough bus. The passthrough bus can extend through intervening tiles.

A method for iNecklace-iAlphabet-iUniverse comprises receiving a request for intuitive structures from the environment, constructing the iAlphabet, computing the identity, performing algebraic, categorical, and homotopy type constructions, performing constructions with measures, recalling relevant instances with reconstructions, identifying the analytic device, enabling composability to construct iUniverse.

A memory circuit includes a number (X) of multiply-accumulate (MAC) circuits that are dynamically configurable. The MAC circuits can either compute an output based on computations of X elements of the input vector with the weight vector, or to compute the output based on computations of a single element of the input vector with the weight vector, with each element having a one bit or multibit length. A first memory can hold the input vector having a width of X elements and a second memory can store the weight vector. The MAC circuits include a MAC array on chip with the first memory.

The present disclosure provides a computing device for processing a multi-bit width value, an integrated circuit board card, a method, and a computer readable storage medium. The computing device is included in the combined processing apparatus, and the combined processing apparatus further includes a general interconnection interface, and other processing devices. The computing device interacts with the other processing device to jointly complete a computing operation specified by a user.

The solution of the present disclosure can split the multi-bit width value so that the processing capability of the processor is not influenced by the bit width.
