Claim 30:
31. A processor-implemented convolutional neural network (CNN) processing method, the method comprising:
selecting a survival network in a precision convolutional network based on an attention result of a forward pass operation of the CNN subsequent to perform a high-speed convolution operation between high-order bits of an input and high-order bits of a kernel while ignoring low-order bits of the input and low-order bits of the kernel;
performing a precision convolution operation based on at least the low-order bits of the input and the low-order bits of the kernel; and
generating an output by combining a result of performing the high-speed convolution operation and a result of performing the precision convolution operation,
wherein the kernel used in performing the high-speed convolution operation is also used in performing the precision convolution operation, and
wherein a convolutional layer in which the high-speed convolution operation is med is the same as a convolutional layer in which the precision convolution a oration is performed.
