Abstract
The present disclosure discloses a neural network processing module, in which a mapping unit is configured to receive an input neuron and a weight, and then process the input neuron and/or the weight to obtain a processed input neuron and a processed weight; and an operation unit is configured to perform an artificial neural network operation on the processed input neuron and the processed weight. Examples of the present disclosure may reduce additional overhead of the device, reduce the amount of access, and improve efficiency of the neural network operation.
