Abstract
Disclosed are a data flow method and apparatus for neural network computation. The data flow method for neural network computation includes initializing the lifecycle of a variable in a computational graph; and defining a propagation rule for a variable in use to flow through a node. A definition of the variable is produced at a precursor node of the node, such that an input set of valid variables flowing through the node contains the variable. The method may be used on neural network computation in a deep learning training system.
