Claim 1:
2. The method of claim 1, wherein the operation unit includes a primary processing circuit and a plurality of secondary processing circuits,
the performing an operation on the first operation data by using the first computation device to obtain a first operation result includes:
parsing, by the controller unit in the first computation device, the computation instruction to obtain a plurality of operation instructions; and sending, by the controller unit in the first computation device, the plurality of operation instructions and the first operation data to the primary processing circuit in the first computation device;
processing the first operation data by using the primary processing circuit in the first computation device, and sending the data and the operation instructions among the plurality of secondary processing circuits in the first computation device;
performing, by the plurality of secondary processing circuits in the first computation device, intermediate operations in parallel according to the operation data and the operation instructions sent from the primary processing circuit in the first computation device to obtain a plurality of intermediate results, and transferring the plurality of intermediate results to the primary processing circuit in the first computation device; and
performing, by the primary processing circuit in the first computation device, subsequent processing on the plurality of intermediate results to obtain the first operation result of the computation instruction.
