Natural learning of neural networks by reconfiguration

Spaanenburg, Lambert LU ; Alberts, R ; Slump, C H and vanderZwaag, B J (2003) SPIE Conference on Bioengineered and Bioinspired Systems, 2003 5119. p.273-284
Abstract
The communicational and computational demands of neural networks are hard to satisfy in a digital technology. Temporal computing solves this problem by iteration, but leaves a slow network. Spatial computing was no option until the coming of modern FPGA devices. The letter shows how a small feed-forward neural module can be configured on the limited logic blocks between RAM and multiplier macro’s. It is then described how by spatial unrolling or by reconfiguration a large modular ANN can be built from such modules.
