Abstract
A method of operating neural networks such as convolutional neural networks including, e.g., an input layer, an output layer and at least one intermediate layer between the input layer and the output layer, with the network layers including operating circuits performing arithmetic operations on input data to provide output data. The method includes: selecting a set of operating circuits in the network layers, performing arithmetic operations in operating circuits in the selected set of operating circuits by performing Residue Number System or RNS operations on RNS-converted input data by obtaining RNS output data in the Residue Number System, backward converting from the Residue Number System the RNS output data resulting from the RNS operations.
