Abstract

There is provided with a data processing apparatus that carries out a computation corresponding to a neural network containing a plurality of layers. A processing unit includes a plurality of processors that, through pipeline processing, sequentially calculate data of each of blocks, each block corresponding to a part of a feature plane in one layer. A control unit determines a calculation order for the data of the blocks on the basis of structure information of the neural network, and sends a command that controls the calculation order to the plurality of processors.
