Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for generating a respective neural network output for each of a plurality of inputs, the method comprising, for each of the neural network layers: receiving a plurality of inputs to be processed at the neural network layer; forming one or more batches of inputs from the plurality of inputs, each batch having a number of inputs up to the respective batch size for the neural network layer; selecting a number of the one or more batches of inputs to process, where a count of the inputs in the number of the one or more batches is greater than or equal to the respective associated batch size of a subsequent layer in the sequence; and processing the number of the one or more batches of inputs to generate the respective neural network layer output.
