ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

Neural  networks  have become popular since they can be
``trained''  to  perform  complex  tasks  and  they are
suitable  for  massively parallel computing. The linear
associative  memory  problem is to find a weight matrix
after   the   memory  has  been  exposed  to  pairs  of
associated  input  and output patterns.  This model can
then  be  used to ``recall'' memory from an input. This
paper  presents an adaptive algorithm for computing the
weight  matrix.  A  parallel  implementation  on a Warp
systolic computer shows the actual speedup.
