1. An operation device comprising a plurality of operation modules configured to execute computational sub-commands in parallel to complete a computational operation of a network model, wherein, each of the operation modules includes:
at least one operation unit configured to execute a first computational sub-command using first computational sub-data, wherein the first computational sub-command of each of the operation modules is part of the computational operation of the network model and the operation modules each execute the first computational sub-command in parallel; and
a separate storage unit configured to store the first computational sub-data, wherein the first computational sub-data includes data for executing the first computational sub-command;
wherein at least two operation modules in the plurality of operation modules have a data connection and a data transfer channel is built between the at least two operation modules based on the data connection for one of the at least two operation modules to obtain data stored in a separate storage unit of another of the at least two operation modules; and
wherein the at least one operation unit in the at least two operation modules is configured to execute the first computational sub-command using the first computational sub-data and second computational sub-data, and wherein the second computational sub-data is stored in the separate storage unit of the other operation module of the at least two operation modules.
