    Abstract: Disclosed is a cache including a dataflow controller for transmitting first data to a first processor and receiving second data from the first processor, an external direct memory access (DMA) controller for receiving the first data from an external memory to transmit the first data to the dataflow controller and receiving the second data from the dataflow controller to transmit the second data to the external memory, a scratchpad memory for storing the first data or the second data transmitted between the dataflow controller and the external DMA controller, a compression/decompression device for compressing data to be transmitted from the scratchpad memory to the external memory and decompressing data transmitted from the external memory to the scratchpad memory, and a transfer state buffer for storing transfer state information associated with data transfer between the dataflow controller and the external DMA controller.

    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for controlling an operation voltage of a processor core and a processor system including the same are provided. The apparatus for controlling an operation voltage of a processor core includes a voltage supplier and an operation voltage searching core. The voltage supplier supplies the operation voltage to the processor core. The operation voltage searching core requests the processor core to execute a program, and controls the operation voltage based on whether the program has been normally operated.

    Abstract: A reorganizable neural network computing device is provided. The computing device includes a data processing array unit including a plurality of operators disposed at locations corresponding to a row and a column. One or more chaining paths which transfer the first input data from the operator of the first row of the data processing array to the operator of the second row are optionally formed. The plurality of first data input processors of the computing device transfer the first input data for a layer of the neural network to the operators along rows of the data processing array unit, and the plurality of second data input processors of the computing device transfer the second input data to the operators along the columns of the data processing array.
