US Patent 11062201 Chip and chip-based data processing method

Embodiments of the present specification provide chips and chip-based data processing methods. In an embodiment, a method comprises: obtaining data associated with one or more neural networks transmitted from a server; for each layer of a neural network of the one or more neural networks, configuring, based on the data, a plurality of operator units based on a type of computation each operator unit performs; and invoking the plurality of operator units to perform computations, based on neurons of a layer of the neural network immediately above, of the data for each neuron to produce a value of the neuron.
