A preprogrammed artificial neural network architecture in signal processing

A mask-programmable artificial neural network (ANN) chip architecture, the tile-based ANN chip assembly, test and simulation results, and use it in signal processing systems are presented. The ANN chip architecture itself is a critical portion of the development. It is presented as a tool, in an abstract fashion, and the system design it makes possible and the process by which algorithms are converted to silicon (chip floorplan, tiling, etc.) are emphasized.<
