Novel Embryonic Array with Neural Network Characteristics
Mohammad Samie, Gabriel Dragffy, Janice Kiely · 2007
This paper introduces a novel design approach for embryonic arrays that is able to employ all three axial characteristics of living beings: phytogeny, ontogeny, and epigenesis. Rather than using multiplexer based binary decision diagrams (BDD) it utilizes the K/N digital neurons to define the functionality of the cells. A special neural network design technique that uses Voronoi diagram (VoD) will be employed that enables neural network array-like configuration of embryonic arrays. Additionally, learning ability, geometrical extraction of genome, gate level configuration, large number of minterm and sum of products (SOP) generation for its constituent cells are some of the other advantages of the technique.
