SIRENA: A CAD environment for behavioural modelling and simulation of VLSI cellular neural network chips

This paper presents SIRENA, a CAD environment for the simulation and modeling of mixed-signal VLSI parallel processing chips based on Cellular Neural Networks. SIRENA includes capabilities for: a) the description of nominal and non-ideal operation of CNN analog circuitry at the behavioral level; b) performing realistic simulations of the transient evolution of physical CNNs including deviations...

Cellular tagging as a neural network mechanism for behavioural tagging

Behavioural tagging is the transformation of a short-term memory, induced by a weak experience, into a long-term memory (LTM) due to the temporal association with a novel experience. The mechanism by which neuronal ensembles, each carrying a memory engram of one of the experiences, interact to achieve behavioural tagging is unknown. Here we show that retrieval of a LTM formed by behavioural tag...

A Cellular Automata Simulation Environment for Modelling Soil Bioremediation

ProperCAd: A Portable Object-Oriented Parallel Environment for VLSI CAD

Most parallel algorithms for VLSI CAD proposed to date have one important drawback: they work ee-ciently only on machines that they were designed for. As a result, algorithms designed to date are dependent on the architecture for which they are developed and do not port easily to other parallel architectures. This paper describes a Portable object-oriented parallel environment for CAD algorithm...
