[comp.ai.neural-nets] Source code for distributed neural net simulators

auyeung@iris.ucdavis.edu (Tak "UlTech" AuYeung) (02/08/90)

I am taking the Parallel Processing course here in U.C.Davis and my
friend and I are working on a project for that course.  Our project
title is "Neural Net Simulators in a Loosely Coupled Distributed
Environment".  We want to investigate how to write a neural net
simulator that runs on several machines (usual Unix machines)
connected by a LAN.

We know that a transputer based simulator has been written.  But we
could not find the code for that simulator.  Is there anyone who knows
of other similar simulators and / or can provide some pointers to the
programs (source code)?

Also, what kind of neural nets would be the easiest to implement?  Our
main theme is not the neural net itself but how to distribute the load
(hence adjusting the boundaries of the partitions) among the nodes.

Thanks in advance!  Please send all information via email to this
account!
