- Here is the summary of what i got, when i asked
- for ANN chips.
-
- There seems to be a group of chips called ETANN which
- is built by Intel. As far as i can say these chips
- use analog and/or digital inputs/outputs. One cycle seems to
- take 5us or 0.5us, depending on the chip used.
-
-
- There also is a list of neural network chip manufacturers
- listed in the FAQ. Search for part -A17). Neural Network Hardware.
- This list arrived just one day after i posted my request.
-
- I also received a message by Ben Bryant, that there has been
- a report about anlog neurons (built by Cal Tech) in the
- September 1992 issue of the Popular Science Magazine.
- I have not been able to read this in Germany, but i will try to get
- this article.
-
- Further more, i received a mail by Harry Langenbacher, who writes:
- > While our chips are not commercially available, we have collaborated with
- > other researchers in the use of our chips, and entertain inquiries from
- > groups engaged in neural-net research.
-
- > We currently work with (analog, digital, and optical) neural net
- > and concurrent processing devices and hardware systems. We build special-
- > purpose and general-purpose analog, digital, mixed-signal, and
- > opto-electronic chips. For over 7 years we have been a leader in hardware
- > neural nets . We make "synapse" and "neuron" chips, opto-electronic
- > chips, minimum-cost-path-finding chips, neuron/synapse chips, etc.

-
- If i wrote something wrong please tell me. It is possible that
- some international news and emails did not reach me because we
- had some trouble in Hamburg this week...
-
- If you find an interesting article or anything that concerns available
- NN chips i would be happy to get a mail by you.
-
- Thanks in advance
- Peter
