Abstract
An apparatus and a method for neural network computation are provided. The apparatus for neural network computation includes a first neuron circuit and a second neuron circuit. The first neuron circuit is configured to execute a neural network computation of at least one computing layer with a fixed feature pattern in a neural network algorithm. The second neuron circuit is configured to execute the neural network computation of at least one computing layer with an unfixed feature pattern in the neural network algorithm. The performance of the first neuron circuit is greater than that of the second neuron circuit.
