Abstract
A method including receiving, by a processor, a computing instruction for a neural network, wherein the computing instruction for the neural network includes a computing rule for the neural network and a connection weight of the neural network, and the connection weight is a power of 2; and inputting, for a multiplication operation in the computing rule for the neural network, a source operand corresponding to the multiplication operation to a shift register, and performing a shift operation based on a connection weight corresponding to the multiplication operation, wherein the shift register outputs a target result operand as a result of the multiplication operation. The neural network uses a shift operation, and a neural network computing speed is increased.
