Fast Prototyping for Hardware Neural Networks
نویسنده
چکیده
Neural algorithms and architectures are rarely tested on actual hardware testbeds owing to the high cost and long time required to develop neural chips. A Fast Prototyping Neural System FPNS where neural architectures can be easily programmed and conngured on programmable chips is here presented. Two diierent case studies were developed and used as benchmark for our system, showing a good performance.

In this paper we present a system for automatic synthesis of special purpose hardware for neural networks. Only an algorithmic description of the behaviour of the hardware and a simulation environment have to be written by the designer using VHDL. This description can be automatically mapped onto hardware using the synthesis tool CALLAS and the design system MENTOR. Using the concept of a simul...
