[Title] Object Oriented Design of a BP Neural Network Simulator and Implementation on the Connection Machine (CM-5) [Abstract] In this paper we describe the implementation of the backpropagation algorithm by means of an object oriented library (ARCH). The use of this library relieve the user from the details of a specific parallel programming paradigm and at the same time allows a greater portability of the generated code. To provide a comparision with existing solutions, we survey the most relevant implementations of the algorithm proposed so far in the literature, both on dedicated and general purpose computers. Extensive experimental results show that the use of the library does not hurt the performance of our simulator, on the contrary our implementation on a Connection Machine (CM-5) is comparable with the fastest in its category.

[Title] Connectionist Layered Object-Oriented Network Simulator (CLONES): User's Manual minimize the learning curve for using CLONES, [Abstract] CLONES is a object-oriented library for constructing, training and utilizing layered connectionist networks. The CLONES library contains all the object classes needed to write a simulator with a small amount of added source code (examples are included). The size of experimental ANN programs is greatly reduced by using an object-oriented library; at the same time these programs are easier to read, write and evolve. The library includes database, network behavior and training procedures that can be customized by the user. It is designed to run efficiently on data parallel computers (such as the RAP [6] and SPERT [1]) as well as uniprocessor workstations. While efficiency and portability to parallel computers are the primary goals, there are several secondary design goals: 3. allow heterogeneous algorithms and training procedures to be interconnected and trained together. Within these constraints we attempt to maximize the variety of artificial neural net work algorithms that can be supported. Please summarise all the given information.

[Title] SPERT: A VLIW/SIMD Microprocessor for Artificial Neural Network Computations [Abstract] SPERT (Synthetic PERceptron Testbed) is a fully programmable single chip microprocessor designed for efficient execution of artificial neural network algorithms. The first implementation will be in a 1.2 m CMOS technology with a 50MHz clock rate, and a prototype system is being designed to occupy a double SBus slot within a Sun Sparcstation. SPERT will sustain over 300 fi 10 6 connections per second during pattern classification, and around 100 fi 10 6 connection updates per second while running the popular error backpropagation training algorithm. This represents a speedup of around two orders of magnitude over a Sparcstation-2 for algorithms of interest. An earlier system produced by our group, the Ring Array Processor (RAP), used commercial DSP chips. Compared with a RAP multiprocessor of similar performance, SPERT represents over an order of magnitude reduction in cost for problems where fixed-point arithmetic is satisfactory. fl International Computer Science Institute, 1947 Center Street, Berkeley, CA 94704 Please summarise all the given information.

[Title] Simulation of Reduced Precision Arithmetic for Digital Neural Networks Using the RAP Machine [Abstract] This paper describes some of our recent work in the development of computer architectures for efficient execution of artificial neural network algorithms. Our earlier system, the Ring Array Processor (RAP), was a multiprocessor based on commercial DSPs with a low-latency ring interconnection scheme. We have used the RAP to simulate variable precision arithmetic and guide us in the design of higher performance neurocomputers based on custom VLSI. The RAP system played a critical role in this study, enabling us to experiment with much larger networks than would otherwise be possible. Our study shows that back-propagation training algorithms only require moderate precision. Specifically, 16b weight values and 8b output values are sufficient to achieve training and classification results comparable to 32b floating point. Although these results were gathered for frame classification in continuous speech, we expect that they will extend to many other connectionist calculations. We have used these results as part of the design of a programmable single chip microprocessor, SPERT. The reduced precision arithmetic permits the use of multiple units per processor. Also, reduced precision operands make more efficient use of valuable processor-memory bandwidth. For our moderate-precision fixed-point arithmetic applications, SPERT represents more than an order of magnitude reduction in cost over systems based on DSP chips.
