Abstract
A neural network processor is provided comprising a plurality of mutually succeeding neural network processor layers is provided. A neural network processor layer therein comprising a plurality of neural network processor elements () having a respective state register () for storing a state value (X) indicative for their state, as well as an additional state register () for storing a value (Q) of a state value change indicator that is indicative for a direction of a previous state change exceeding a threshold value. Neural network processor elements in a neural network processor layer are configured to selectively transmit differential event messages indicative for a change of their state, dependent both on the change of their state value and on the value of their state value change indicator.
