The invention provides a hardware neural network conversion method which converts a neural network application into a hardware neural network meeting the hardware constraint condition, a computing device, a compiling method and a neural network software and hardware collaboration system. The method comprises the steps that a neural network connection diagram corresponding to the neural network application is acquired; the neural network connection diagram is split into neural network basic units; each neural network basic unit is converted into a network which has the equivalent function with the neural network basic unit and is formed by connection of basic module virtual bodies of neural network hardware; and the obtained basic unit hardware networks are connected according to the splitting sequence so as to generate the parameter file of the hardware neural network. A brand-new neural network and quasi-brain computation software and hardware system is provided, and an intermediate compiling layer is additionally arranged between the neural network application and a neural network chip so that the problem of adaptation between the neural network application and the neural network application chip can be solved, and development of the application and the chip can also be decoupled.

In view of the neural network information parallel processing, a digital perceptron device analogous to the build-in neural network hardware systems for parallel processing digital signals directly by the processor's memory content and memory perception in one feed-forward step is disclosed. The digital perceptron device of the invention applies the configurable content and perceptive non-volatile memory arrays as the memory processor hardware. The input digital signals are then broadcasted into the non-volatile content memory array for a match to output the digital signals from the perceptive non-volatile memory array as the content-perceptive digital perceptron device.
