Abstract
According to an embodiment, a neural network device includes: a plurality of cores each executing computation and processing of a partial component in a neural network; and a plurality of routers transmitting data output from each core to one of the plurality of cores such that computation and processing are executed according to structure of the neural network. Each of the plurality of cores outputs at least one of a forward data and a backward data propagated through the neural network in a forward direction and a backward direction, respectively. Each of the plurality of routers is included in one of a plurality of partial regions each being a forward region or a backward region. A router included in the forward region and a router included in the backward region transmit the forward data and the backward data to other routers in the same partial regions, respectively.
