Universal neural network board that can be used with IBM-PC

摘要

The present invention relates to the design of a general purpose neural net board that can be used in connection with a personal computer (IBM-PC), and which is capable of transferring data between a PC 4 and a MIMD-And a second buffer (14) provided between the PC (4) and the parallel processor (2) for transmitting a control signal, address and data, and a third buffer 13) and. Buffer means 11 and 15 constituted by a first buffer and a fifth buffer for driving PEs in the parallel processor 2 and a buffer means 11 and 15 for controlling synchronization between the parallel processor 2 and the PC 4, A decoder (21) for generating a predetermined control signal by using the address of the PC (4) provided through the fourth buffer (14), and a decoder (21) 2 selecting the PEs in the parallel processor 2 in response to the control signal; and selecting means for selecting the PEs in the parallel processor 2 in response to the control signal, And a communication unit (31 to 33) for controlling data transfer of the parallel processor board.
