A programmable high-performance and high-speed neurocomputer for a large neural network is developed using an application specific IC (ASIC) neurocomputing chip made by CMOS VLSI technology. The neurocomputer consists of one master node and multiple slave nodes which are connected by two data paths, a broadcast bus and a ring bus. The neurocomputer was built on one printed circuit board having 50 VLSI chips that offers 1-2 billion connections/s. This computer uses SIMD (single-instruction…Â
