Coprocessors for special neural networks: KOKOS and KOBOLD
Heike Speckmann, P. Thole, Martin Bogdan, Wolfgang Rosenstiel · 1994
In this paper we present a system for accelerating special kinds of neural networks. It is a hardware supported system consisting of different parts. A special-purpose neural coprocessor is connected to a personal computer (PC) by a special, asynchronous interface. Two different neural coprocessors are available, KOKOS, a coprocessor for Kohonen's selforganizing map, and KOBOLD, accelerating backpropagation with online learning. >
