A method for managing memory access for implementing at least one layer of a convolutional neural network is provided. The method comprises predicting an access procedure in relation to a portion of memory based on a characteristic of the convolutional neural network. In response to the prediction, the method comprises performing an operation to obtain and store a memory address translation, corresponding to the portion of memory, in storage in advance of the predicted access procedure. An apparatus is provided comprising at least one processor and storage. The apparatus is configured to predict an access procedure in relation to a portion of memory which is external to the processor. In response to the prediction, the apparatus is configured to obtain and store a memory address translation corresponding to the portion of memory in storage in advance of the predicted access procedure.
