Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4th-Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. A Processing Element (PE) implemented in an accelerator in a convolutional neural network, which includes a first buffer configured to transfer input data to one other PE, and a second buffer configured to transmit to an outside output data that is processed on the basis of the input data; and an operation unit configured to generate output data.
