Abstract
A neural processing unit may comprise a first circuitry including a plurality of processing elements (PEs) configured to perform operations of an artificial neural network model, the plurality of PEs including an adder, a multiplier, and an accumulator, and a clock signal supply circuitry configured to output one or more clock signals. When the plurality of PEs include a first group of PEs and a second group of PEs, a first clock signal among the one or more clock signals, may be supplied to the first group of PEs and a second clock signal among the one or more clock signals, may be supplied to the second group of PEs. At least one of the first and second clock signals may have a preset phase based on a phase of an original clock signal.
