US Patent 9952831 Transposing in a matrix-vector processor

A circuit for transposing a matrix comprising reversal circuitry configured, for each of one or more diagonals of the matrix, to receive elements of the matrix in a first vector and generate a second vector that includes the elements of the matrix in an order that is a reverse of an order of the elements of the matrix in the first vector, and rotation circuitry configured, for each of the one or more diagonals of the matrix, to determine a number of positions by which to rotate the elements of the matrix in the second vector, receive the second vector of elements of the matrix, and generate a third vector that includes the elements of the matrix in the second vector in an order that is a rotation of the elements of the matrix in the second vector by the determined number of positions.
