نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents an SIMD processor array dedicated to the implementation of neural networks. The heart of this machine is a systolic array of simple processing elements (PEs). A VLSI custom chip containing 2 2 PEs was built. The machine is designed to sustain suucient instruction and data ows to keep a utilization rate close to 100 %. Finally, this computer is intended to be inserted in a network of heterogeneous nodes.

متن کاملVIP: An FPGA-Based Processor for Image Processing and Neural Networks - Microelectronics for Neural Networks, 1996., Proceedings of Fifth International Conference on
We present in this paper the architecture and implementation of the Virtual Image Processor (VIP) which is an SIMD multiprocessor build with large FPGAs. The SIMD architecture, together with a 2D torus connection topology, is well suited for image processing, pattern recognition and neural network algorithms. The VIP board can be programmed on-line a t the logic level, allowing optimal hardware...

متن کاملNeural Computing on a One Dimensional SIMD Array
Parallel processors offer a very attractive mechanism for the implementation of large neural networks. Problems in the usage of parallel processing in neural computing involve the difficulty of handling the large amount of global communication between processing units and the storage of weights for each of the neural processor connections. This paper wi l l discuss how massive parallelism in th...
