Claim 11:
12. A system for an artificial neural network (ANN), the system comprising:
at least one memory cell array of N columns and M rows;
a memory controller configured to operate at least a portion of a read operation as a read-discard operation based on sequential access information, when the at least one memory cell array receives a command for the read operation; and
a processor configured to provide ANN data locality information to the memory controller, wherein the at least one memory cell array receives a command for the read-discard operation by which stored data is read, and wherein the at least one memory cell array receives the read-discard operation command when the stored data is an output feature map and the stored data is read.
