Abstract

Artificial Neural Networks are computing methods that remember the human brain. Currently, they are being applied for solving problems in several areas such as, robotics, image processing, pattern recognition, etc.... The Multi Layer Perceptron is a neural network model that is widely used due to its simple learning algorithm and its very good results. This model shows a inherent massive parallelism. To take advantages of this parallelism, a parallel implementation should be performed. Hardware implementations are very interesting ones due to its high performance and parallel capabilities. This paper presents a reconfigurable hardware parallel implementation for Multilayer Perceptron handled by embedded processors, which can add more flexibility to the system.
