Abstract
A processor includes a plurality of processing elements, wherein the processor is configured to execute, by using one or more first processing elements among the plurality of processing elements, operations of a first layer of a neural network including a plurality of layers, the processor is configured to execute, by using one or more second processing elements among the plurality of processing elements, operations of a second layer of the neural network, the one or more first processing elements and the one or more second processing elements do not entirely overlap, and the second layer is at a later processing stage than the first layer.
Claims29
A processor comprising:
- a plurality of processing elements,
- wherein the processor is configured to execute, by using one or more first processing elements among the plurality of processing elements, operations of a first layer of a neural network including a plurality of layers,
- the processor is configured to execute, by using one or more second processing elements among the plurality of processing elements, operations of a second layer of the neural network,
- the one or more first processing elements and the one or more second processing elements do not entirely overlap, and
- the second layer is at a later processing stage than the first layer.
A processing method implemented by a plurality of processing elements, comprising:
- executing, by using one or more first processing elements among the plurality of processing elements, operations of a first layer of a neural network including a plurality of layers;
- and
- executing, by using one or more second processing elements among the plurality of processing elements, operations of a second layer of the neural network,
- wherein the one or more first processing elements and the one or more second processing elements do not entirely overlap, and
- wherein the second layer is at a later processing stage than the first layer.
