Abstract
A neural processing device is provided. The neural processing device comprises: an activation buffer in which first and second input activations are stored, an activation compressor configured to generate a first compressed input activation by using the first and second input activations, and a tensor unit configured to perform two-dimensional calculations using the first compressed input activation, wherein the first compressed input activation comprises first input row data comprising at least a portion of the first input activation and at least a portion of the second input activation, and first metadata corresponding to the first input row data.
