Design of MAC unit in artificial neural network architecture using Verilog HDL

An Artificial neural network (ANN) is parallel Information processing structure consists of processing units. The processing unit decides while the network is efficient or not. So need to design an efficient processing unit and it also provide better performance. The processing unit consists of MAC unit (Multiplication and Accumulation) and Activation unit. In an existing system, the processing MAC unit was designed by Booth multiplier and carry look ahead adder. The existing processing unit provides delay and consumes more area and power. To overcome the drawbacks, designed a new processing unit, Vedic multiplier with square root carry select adder (SQRT-CSLA). The proposed design overcomes the drawbacks of the existing system, and it's also providing better performance of the entire network. The Activation function unit was designed by sigmoid neurons process. Entire processing unit was implemented and verified by using Verilog HDL language.
