Abstract

Disclosed include a device and a method for storing a neural network. The device includes a plurality of memory cells configured to store weights of the neural network. The plurality of memory cells may include one or more faulty cells. The device further includes a processor coupled to the plurality of memory cells. The processor is configured to construct the neural network based on a structure of the neural network and a subset of the weights stored by the plurality of memory cells. The subset of the weights may exclude another subset of the weights stored by one or more memory cells comprising the one or more faulty cells.
