Abstract

A neural network processing unit (NPU) includes a processing element array, an NPU memory system configured to store at least a portion of data of an artificial neural network model processed in the processing element array, and an NPU scheduler configured to control the processing element array and the NPU memory system based on artificial neural network model structure data or artificial neural network data locality information.
