Abstract
A storage device is provided including a memory controller having a neural processing unit (NPU); a first nonvolatile memory (NVM) connected to the memory controller through a first channel; and a second NVM connected to the memory controller through a second channel. The first NVM stores first weight data for the NPU and the second stores second weight data for the NPU. The memory controller is configured to determine one of the first and second channels that is less frequently accessed upon receiving an inference request from the neural processor, and access a corresponding one of the first weight data and the second weight data using the determined one channel.
