You may be interested in the following paper:
T. Ito and K. Fukushima, Realization of a Neural Network Model Neocognitron
on a Hypercube Parallel Computer, in the International Journal of High Speed
Computing, Vol. 2, No. 1(1990)1-16.
Here at ISR I use the NEC SX-2A supercomputer. I have a simple system
which generates a highly vectorizable simulator program in FORTAN based on a
user defined network definition. Learning takes place on the supercomputer,
and after FTP'ing the weights file, the same program is used to run the
network on a SPARCstation.
I am interested in how you achieve the speedup of 7, with 8 SPARCs.
Have you measured the throughput in terms of CUPS (Connections Updated Per
Second)? If so, I would like to know what kind of performance you have
achieved for what sized network(s).
Best wishes,
Shaun
