Please predict whether this patent is acceptable.PATENT ABSTRACT: A processor includes a processor core and a calculation circuit. The processor core includes logic determine a set of weights for use in a convolutional neural network (CNN) calculation and scale up the weights using a scale value. The calculation circuit includes logic to receive the scale value, the set of weights, and a set of input values, wherein each input value and associated weight of a same fixed size. The calculation circuit also includes logic to determine results from convolutional neural network (CNN) calculations based upon the set of weights applied to the set of input values, scale down the results using the scale value, truncate the scaled down results to the fixed size, and communicatively couple the truncated results to an output for a layer of the CNN.
