METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PERFORMING AN L1 NORM OPERATION

摘要

A method and system for L1 norm operation are provided. An instruction is received by the computer processor (490) and the instruction is decoded by decoder (492) to configure an accumulator and processing elements. A sequence of input signals is distributed through a data pipe line (495) to a programmable accumulator. The accumulator (498) sums the input signals to generate an output signal. The L1 norm operation can be performed using the distance between two vectors.
