Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 12:
13. A neural processor comprising:
a local memory in which partial sums are stored;
a processing element (PE) array configured to perform a two-dimensional computation on a weight and an input activation and generate result data; and
a vector unit configured to perform a one-dimensional computation on the partial sum provided from the local memory and the result data provided from the PE array and generate final result data,
wherein the vector unit comprises:
an instruction fetch unit configured to fetch a first instruction for storing the result data provided from the PE array and a second instruction for storing the partial sum provided from the local memory by referring to a program for the vector unit; and
an instruction execution unit configured to generate control signals for executing instructions fetched by the instruction fetch unit, and
wherein the first instruction and the second instruction can be fetched independently of each other according to dependencies, and information on dependencies of the first instruction and the second instruction is included in the program.
