Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 12:
13. A storage control method comprising:
for each of a plurality of pieces of data, as executed by a processor:
determining a compression operation scale of the data based on a feature of the data;
executing a compression operation according to the determined compression operation scale to convert the data into encoded data;
generating encoded data of the data based on a plurality of pieces of encoded data generated for the plurality of pieces of data; and
storing the encoded data or compressed data thereof into a storage device,

wherein for each of the plurality of pieces of data:
the processor executes convolution operation using an input channel other than an input channel to be masked of a plurality of input channels, and a kernel with a predetermined kernel amount, and
determination of the compression operation scale is to determine at least one of an input channel to be masked among the plurality of input channels in a convolution layer and a kernel amount of a kernel used in the convolution layer thereby reducing a compression operation load while minimizing an amount of data loss.
