Implementation of artificial neural networks on a reconfigurable hardware accelerator
Mario Porrmann, Ulf Witkowski, Heiko Kalte, Ulrich Rückert · 2003
The hardware implementations of three different artificial neural networks are presented. The basis for the implementations is the reconfigurable hardware accelerator RAPTOR2000, which is based on FPGAs. The investigated neural network architectures are neural associative memories, self-organizing feature maps and basis function networks. Some of the key implementation issues are considered. In particular, the resource efficiency and performance of the presented realizations are discussed.
