In an example, a method includes receiving, in a memory, input data to be processed in a first and a second processing layer. A processing operation of the second layer may be carried out on an output of a processing operation of the first processing layer. The method may further include assigning the input data to be processed according to at least one processing operation of the first layer, which may comprise using a resistive memory array, and buffering output data. It may be determined whether the buffered output data exceeds a threshold data amount to carry out at least one processing operation of the second layer and when it is determined that the buffered output data exceeds the threshold data amount, at least a portion of the buffered output data may be assigned to be processed according to a processing operation of the second layer.
