A High-Accuracy Hardware-Efficient Multiply–Accumulate (MAC) Unit Based on Dual-Mode Truncation Error Compensation for CNNs

This paper presents a multiply-accumulate (MAC) unit that enables a dual-mode truncation error compensation (TEC) scheme based on a fixed-width Booth multiplier (FWBM) for convolutional neural network (CNN) inference operations. The proposed tailored TEC schemes of Modes 1 and 2 can achieve high MAC...
