Abstract
(EN)

A microprocessor system comprises a computational array and a vector computational unit. The computational array includes a plurality of computation units. The vector computational unit is in communication with the computational array and includes a plurality of processing elements. The processing elements are configured to receive output data elements from the computational array and process in parallel the received output data elements.
