Claim 6:
7. A memory for an artificial neural network (ANN), the memory comprising:
a memory controller; and
at least one dynamic memory cell electrically connected to a bit line and a word line, the at least one dynamic memory cell configured to perform a read-discard operation from the memory controller to selectively omit a restore operation during a read operation,
wherein the at least one dynamic memory cell includes a first area configured to store output feature map data of an ANN model corresponding to the read-discard operation based on an ANN data locality, and
wherein the memory controller is further configured to determine that the output feature map data is not reused during the read operation after the storing of the output feature map data.
