Abstract

Many researchers have proposed the linear array as a suitable structure for implementing digital neural network hardware. The Toroidal Neural Processor (TNP) is one such architecture.

This paper reports recent research results from the TNP program. It details

  • the latest developments in the architecture focusing on the features that support highly pipelined processing

  • describes the performance achieved by TNP for a wide range of training algorithms.
