Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to an accelerator circuit with a dynamic immediate values table (IVT). The accelerator circuit includes an instruction memory, a data memory, and a vector circuit with the IVT storing multiple immediate values at multiple entries. The vector circuit reads a subset of instructions from the instruction memory, each instruction including at least one corresponding pointer to at least one corresponding entry in the IVT. The vector circuit further receives a subset of input data from the data memory corresponding to the subset of instructions. The vector circuit performs a respective operation in accordance with each instruction from the subset of instructions using a corresponding data vector of the received subset of input data identified in each instruction and at least one corresponding immediate value from the IVT pointed by the at least one corresponding pointer to generate corresponding output data.
