Time-Multiplexing CNN Simulator
نویسندگان
چکیده
A novel approach to simulate Cellular Neural Networks (CNN) is presented in this paper. The approach, time-multiplexing simulation, is prompted by the need to simulate hardware models and test hardware implementations of CNN. For practical size applications, due to hardware limitations, it is impossible to have a one-on-one mapping between the CNN hardware processors and all the pixels of the image. This simulator provides a solution by processing the input image block by block, with the number of pixels in a block being the same as the number of CNN processors in the hardware. The algorithm for implementing this simulator is also presented, along with some simulation results and comparisons.

where u denotes the CNN input vector, x the state vector, y = f ( x ) the output vector, f (.) a nonlinear function, A the feedback template matrix, B the control template matrix, i the bias vector, and ∂ the contribution from the boundary. CNN cell capacitance and resistance are assumed to be normalised to unity. Existing simulators mostly aim to increase the computational efficiency. In fact,...
