MULTIMICROCOMPUTER IMPLEMENTATION OF 3-DIMENSIONAL NEURAL NETWORKS

The simulation of neural networks by means of the development of software strategies implemented on a computer always comes up against the limitation of execution time from running the programs onconventional von Neumann type systems and is still not really solved with the use of new parallel architectures of microcomputers. In this paper, we present our work in progress aimed at taking advantage of the facilities of generation of parallel systems of microcomputers with a bus specially prepared for the simultaneous functioning of several CPU boards sharing resources (memory, input/output, etc) and under the overall control of a master. Each board includes a microprocessor, a floating point coprocessor, and a certain amount of private memory shared with the bus, which in this case is the VME Bus of 32 bits.
