Convolution operation device and method

The invention relates to a convolution operation device and method. The convolution operation method comprises steps that a large-scale convolution operation block is segmented into multiple small-scale convolution operation blocks; convolution operation of the small-scale convolution operation blocks is carried out to respectively generate portion results; the portion results are added as the convolution operation result of the large-scale convolution operation block. The invention further discloses a convolution operation device capable of realizing hardware support for the convolution operation method. 本发明的题目是卷积运算装置及卷积运算方法。本发明揭露种卷积运算方法，运算方法包括以下步骤：将大规模卷积运算区块分割成多个小规模卷积运算区块；对小规模卷积运算区块进行卷积运算以分别产生部份结果；以及将部份结果相加作为大规模卷积运算区块的卷积运算结果。本发明还并揭露种可硬件支持前述卷积运算方法的卷积运算装置。
