    Abstract: A data processing system includes a controller and a computation device. The controller receives a request for processing a neural network computation from a host, the request including an input feature map and a weight filter. The computation device includes a storage unit allocated to each of integration groups, and performs a convolution operation on the input feature map and the weight filter, sequentially outputs pooling elements as a result of the convolution operation, and performs a pooling operation on the pooling elements. The pooling elements corresponds to each integration group. The computation device performs the pooling operation by integrating a pooling value read from the storage unit and each of the pooling elements into a single value and updating the pooling value stored in the storage unit with a result of the integrating. The integrating and the updating are repeated until all of the pooling elements are integrated.

    Abstract: A data processing apparatus includes a master device configured to transmit commands for destinations, a slave device including a plurality of command processing regions respectively corresponding to the destinations, and a controller configured to relay communication between the master device and the slave device. The controller assigns time stamp value to the commands as an initial value when the commands was received by the controller and increment the time stamp value every command arbitration cycle, selects a command having a largest time stamp value among the commands in a tournament manner by comparing commands having different destinations every command arbitration cycle, stores a command selection history of each comparison of commands, selects the command based on a command selection history corresponding to the compared commands when respective time stamp values of the compared commands are the same or substantially the same as each other.
