Claim 17:
18. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having program code recorded thereon for hardware pre-processing and post-processing of direct memory access (DMA) data in an artificial neural network, the program code being executed by a processor and comprising:
program code to program configuration registers of a neural processing unit (NPU) direct memory access (NDMA) core for a read client and/or a write client;
program code to stream data blocks of a data stripe of an image, block by block, over a bus bridge and a network on chip (NoC) between an external memory and the NDMA core; and
program code to pre-process and post-process the data blocks of the data stripe in buffers of the NDMA core during streaming of the data blocks of the data stripe between the external memory and the read client and/or write client.
