Abstract

A method of performing an operation in a neural network apparatus may include acquiring operation groups each comprising at least one input feature map and at least one kernel, and tag information corresponding to each of the operation groups, determining an operating unit in an idle state from among operating units, performing, at the operating unit in the idle state, a convolution operation between an input feature map and a kernel included in a operation group from among the operation groups to create an intermediate feature map, determining, based on tag information corresponding to the operation group, a post-processing unit from among post-processing units, and creating, at the post-processing unit, an output feature map using the intermediate feature map.
