Abstract

Training algorithms for artificial neural networks tend to he very time-consuming. It is therefore obvious to capitalise on the intrinsic parallelism of these systems in order to speed up the computations. This contribution describes the implementation of the back-propagation of errors learning algorithm on a SIMD parallel computer.
