چکیده
In this paper we report on the VLSI-implementation of a processor for competitive neural networks and its prototype implementation. The basic element of our SIMD-processor architecture are dedicated bit-serial processing elements that allow vector comparison using binary or integer metrics and support fast parallel minimum search. An AS|C with 32 processing elements was implemented. Systems with up to several thousand neurons can be implemented with our architecturefor applications as image coding, classification and associative processing.

متن کاملDevice and Novel Architecture LSIs A Memory - based Parallel Processor for Vector Quantiza - tion : FMPP - VQ
We propose a memory-based processor called a Functional Memory Type Parallel Processor for vector quantization (FMPPVQ). The FMPP-VQ is intended for low bit-rate image compression using vector quantization. It accelerates the nearest neighbor search on vector quantization. In the nearest neighbor search, we look for a vector nearest to an input one among a large number of code vectors. The FMPP...
