Abstract
This application discloses a convolution computation engine of a neural network model. The neural network model includes at least first and second network layers. The convolution computation engine includes a weight storage unit implemented by a first processing circuit and a data computation unit implemented by a second processing circuit. The weight storage unit pre-loads weight data of the second network layer from an external storage unit located outside the convolution computation engine during a convolution operation of the first network layer. The data computation unit obtains target input data of the second network layer in response to an operation instruction of the second network layer, and reads the weight data of the second network layer from the weight storage unit; and performs a convolution operation on the target input data by using the weight data of the second network layer.
