    Abstract: An electronic device includes a graphic processor and a memory device. The graphic processor includes an artificial neural network engine that makes an object recognition model learn by using learning data and weights to provide a learned object recognition model. The memory device, divides a feature vector into a first sub feature vector and a second feature vector, and performs a first calculation to apply the second sub feature vector and the weights to the learned object recognition model to provide a second object recognition result. The artificial neural network engine performs a second calculation to apply the first sub feature vector and the weights to the learned object recognition model to provide a first object recognition result and provides the first object recognition result to the memory device. The second calculation is performed in parallel with the first calculation.

  • Patent number: 11210208
    Abstract: A memory system includes a nonvolatile memory module and a first controller configured to control the nonvolatile memory module. The nonvolatile memory module includes a volatile memory device, a nonvolatile memory device, and a second controller configured to control the volatile memory device and the nonvolatile memory device. The first controller may be configured to transmit a read request to the second controller. When, during a read operation according to the read request, normal data is not received from the nonvolatile memory device, the first controller may perform one or more retransmits of the read request to the second controller without a limitation on a number of times that the first controller performs the one or more retransmits of the read request.
