Neural network compression device

Abstract

Processing time of a neural network is shortened, and the number of operations of the neural network is reduced such that a plurality of calculators can be effectively used. A neural network reduction device (100) that reduces the number of operations of a neural network by an operation device (140) including a plurality of calculators by reducing the neural network, the neural network reduction device including: a calculator allocation unit (102) that sets the number of calculators allocated to calculation processing of the neural network; a number-of-operations setting unit (103) that sets the number of operations of a reduced neural network based on the number of allocated calculators; and a neural network reduction unit (104) that reduces the neural network such that the number of operations of the neural network by the operation device (140) is equal to the number of operations set by the number-of-operations setting unit (103).
