Hardware realization method and system for artificial neural network algorithm

Abstract

The invention provides a hardware realization method and a system for an artificial neural network algorithm, which overcome the defects of high cost and overlarge occupation of hardware resources of the prior hardware realization technology. The system comprises a top layer module, the top layer module consists of a plurality of neuron modules, pulse input ends of the neuron modules input given weight products, output ends of the neuron modules fit the given weight products into a Sigmoid function of a neutral network through a normal distribution random generator and a nonlinear converter, and then the Sigmoid function is converted into pulse to be output through a pulse converter. Compared with the prior realization technology, the hardware realization method and the system for the neural network algorithm avoid the embarrassment that a serial mode in the prior software realization is used to finish parallel computation, overcome the disadvantages of software realization, save a large amount of hardware resources due to the algorithm optimization, have lower cost due to the realization on an FPGA platform, utilize an optimized algorithm to avoid the difficulty that the Sigmoid function is difficult to realize by a hardware, and also save the hardware resources by using an accumulation mode.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an artificial neural network algorithm, in particular to a hardware implementation method and system of the artificial neural network algorithm through FPGA hardware. Background technique [0002] Artificial neural network is a kind of imitating human intuitive thinking, and it is a nonlinear dynamic system, which is characterized by distributed storage of information and parallel collaborative processing. Although the structure of a single neuron is extremely simple and its functions are limited, the behaviors that can be realized by a network system composed of a large number of neurons are extremely colorful. The study of artificial neural network is to effectively use this characteristic of the human brain, which belongs to an emerging edge and interdisciplinary science. The study of neural network will definitely have a profound impact on computer science and intelligence science, and improve the intelligence of computers....
