Abstract
A system and a method is disclosed for processing input feature map (IFM) data of a current layer of a neural network model using an array of reconfigurable neural processing units (NPUs) and storing output feature map (OFM) data of the next layer of the neural network model at a location that does not involve a data transfer between memories of the NPUs according to the subject matter disclosed herein. The reconfigurable NPUs may be used to improve NPU utilization of NPUs of a neural processing system.
