Zusammenfassung:Some embodiments provide a neural network inference circuit for executing a neural network that includes multiple layers of computation nodes. At least a subset of the layers include non-convolutional layers. The neural network inference circuit includes multiple cores with memories that store input values for the layers. The cores are grouped into multiple clusters. For each cluster, the neural network inference circuit includes a set of processing circuits for receiving input values from the cores of the cluster and executing the computation nodes of the non-convolutional layers.
