1. A system for an artificial neural network (ANN), the system comprising:
a processor configured to output a memory control signal according to a sequence of operations, including a read operation and a write operation with respect to an ANN model, in which the sequence of operations is determined at compilation;
a main memory in which data of the ANN model is stored; and
a memory controller configured to receive the memory control signal from the processor and to control the main memory based on the memory control signal.
