English

  • Artificial Intelligence

CONT

Scaling, projection, and rotations require many multiplications, and external hardware that speeds up multiplication improves processing rate. The arithmetic processor helps in this regard, but time is also wasted by formatting data and sending it to the arithmetic processor chip. Matrix multipliers... eliminate this overhead by taking large blocks of memory containing many operands, performing arithmetic operations on them, and placing them back into memory using DMA.
