....1 1. Introduction This thesis describes the realization of the prototype of a reconfigurable hardware accelerator. The accelerator emulates back propagation connectionist classifiers. The prototype is called ACME, for Adaptive Connectionist Model Emulator, and has been jointly developed with [2]. The design and implementation of the basic units of ACME (neurons) can be found in [2] This thesis focuses on the hardware environment that supports the neurons. The contribution of our joint work is the realization of a system which enables the back propagation training stage of the neural ....

....fast digital neural network called GANGLION using Xilinx FPGA chips. Because of its extremely high performance (4.48 billion interconnections per second, 20 million decision per second) their work has triggered many other researches on digital neural networks using field programmable devices. [37][35] 6] Digital neural networks, also referred to as connectionist classifiers, are parameterized devices implemented by scalers, accumulators and sigmoid function generators which group objects into one out of a set of predefined categories or classes. The objects are all described and ....
