Abstract
A hardware neural network conversion method, a computing device, a compiling method and a neural network software and hardware collaboration system for converting a neural network application into a hardware neural network fulfilling a hardware constraint condition are disclosed. The method comprises: obtaining a neural network connection diagram corresponding to the neural network application; splitting the neural network connection diagram into neural network basic units; converting each of the neural network basic units so as to form a network having equivalent functions thereto and formed by connecting basic module virtual entities of neural network hardware; and connecting the obtained basic unit hardware network according to the sequence of splitting so as to create a parameter file for the hardware neural network. The present disclosure provides a novel neural network and a brain-like computing software and hardware system.
