Abstract

Disclosed is a convolutional neural network (CNN) processing apparatus and method, the apparatus configured to determine a loading space unit for at least one loading space in an input based on a height or a width for an input feature map of the input and an extent of a dimension of a kernel feature map, load target input elements corresponding to a target loading space, among the at least one loading space, from a memory and store the target input elements in an allocated input buffer having a size corresponding to the loading space unit, and perform a convolution operation between the target input elements stored in the input buffer and at least one kernel element of a kernel.
