‘Neural Net Simulation on Transputers

2 Neural Nets, Statistical Physics and Optimization It has recently been shown that neural net models can be based upon the principles of statistical physics, In particular the spin sociative memories and optimization networks. The simulation of such neural networks promises to provide valuable insights into human and machine vision. However, for a large amay, the calculations involved become prohibitive on conventional serial machines. glass models of magnetic lattices have been used to design asThe relationship between neural net models and the physics of large scale magnetic spin systems has become widely appreciated since the work of Hopfield illThe magnetic interaction between
