Claim 12:
13. An artificial neural network for hardware pre-processing and post-processing of direct memory access (DMA) data, the artificial neural network comprising:
means for programming configuration registers of a neural processing unit (NPU) direct memory access (NDMA) core for a read client and/or a write client;
means for streaming data blocks of a data stripe of an image, block by block, over a bus bridge and a network on chip (NoC) between external memory and the NDMA core; and
means for pre-processing and post-processing data blocks of the data stripe in buffers of the NDMA core during the streaming of data blocks of the data stripe between the external memory and the read client and/or write client.
