Resistive processing unit with multiple weight readers

This invention describes a specialized computer chip designed for artificial intelligence calculations. It uses a grid of tiny electronic components, where each component stores a single numerical value, like a "weight" in a neural network. The key idea is that each component has multiple ways to read that single stored weight at the same time, allowing it to perform several calculations simultaneously using different inputs. The claims narrow this to a component that multiplies an input by its stored weight and then adds another incoming value to that product, sending the final result out.
