ABSTRACT:
A large scale integrated neural device has a number of processor elements, each with a number of input lines and a single output line. The neural device also has a local bus with a number of conductors. Each conductor receives one of the output lines from each processor. Any input line of any processor element may be connected to any bus conductor through a switch element. Each processor element generates, as an output, an integrated result of weighted input signals. The switch element ON/OFF state may be programmed from external signals.
