In a data processing method performed by a chip comprising a processor and a computing core, the processor receives metadata of first data and metadata of second data. The second data is obtained by performing a first operation on the first data, and memory addresses corresponding to elements at adjacent positions in each row of the second data are discontinuous. The processor compares the metadata of the second data with the metadata of the first data to determine the first operation, and further determines a second operation matching the first operation. The computing core then obtains third data based on the first data and the second operation, wherein memory addresses corresponding to elements at adjacent positions in each row of the third data are continuous.
