Abstract

We discuss the parallel implementation of neural networks on a Connex ArrayTM circuit. By estimating the number of memory cycles, we approximate the real performance of the machine. We show how to implement a basic neural learning algorithm. Our preliminary study suggests that the Connex ArrayTM is a good neural network accelerator, due to its high performance for vector operations. The execu tion time obtained is significant: 5 GCUPS, at 2.5 watts, on less than 1 cm2 area.
