A brain-like computing system, comprising an arithmetic/logical operation and control unit, a brain-like coprocessing unit, a memory unit, an external port, and a bus connecting the various units and the external port. The arithmetic/logical operation and control unit is used to perform programming and configuration on the brain-like coprocessing unit, execute arithmetic operations or logical operations, and control the running and data exchange of the other units by means of the bus. The brain-like coprocessing unit is provided with an artificial neural network processing function and a pulsed neural network processing function, and is used to execute artificial neural network computation and pulsed neural network computation on the basis of instructions from the arithmetic/logical operation and control unit and store a computation result in the memory unit. The present system is able to achieve higher computational efficiency when processing different tasks in general artificial intelligence computation, and achieve real-time response to tasks by means of low-delay continuous execution of computing tasks, while also reducing the energy consumption of computation execution in the whole system.
