Aspects for vector comparison in neural network are described herein. The aspects may include a direct memory access unit configured to receive a first vector and a second vector from a storage device. The first vector may include one or more first elements and the second vector may include one or more second elements. The aspects may further include a computation module that includes one or more comparers respectively configured to generate a comparison result by comparing one of the one or more first elements to a corresponding one of the one or more second elements in accordance with an instruction.
