Abstract
To an information processing device or the like that reduces the time required to transmit a computation result as a response while causing a computation on the basis of a DNN to be distributed. According to an aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided an information processing device that handles a part of a series of computations in a deep neural network. The information processing device determines whether or not to transmit, to a first communication device, a result of an intermediate computation in the series of computations in the deep neural network, in a case where transmission to the first communication device is not determined, transmits a result of at least a part of a computation included in a first range among the series of computations to a second communication device that is a computation handler of a second range following the first range, and, in a case where transmission to the first communication device is determined, executes a computation for transmission to the first communication device by using a result of the intermediate computation in the series of computations in the deep neural network, and transmits a result of executing the computation to the first communication device.
