Abstract

Methods and devices, the method including receiving a matrix of a neural network model; classifying at least a portion of the matrix as a first section based on a first distribution pattern of non-zero elements of the portion of the matrix; and identifying memory addresses of the non-zero elements in the first section of the matrix for loading, according to a first order determined based on the first distribution pattern, the non-zero elements in the first section into one or more vector registers.
