Speed challenge: a case for hardware implementation in soft-computing

For over a decade, JPL has been actively involved in soft computing research on theory, architecture, applications, and electronics hardware. The driving force in all our research activities, in addition to the potential enabling technology promise, has been creation of a niche that imparts orders of magnitude speed advantage by implementation in parallel processing hardware with algorithms made especially suitable for hardware implementation. We review our work on neural networks, fuzzy logic, and evolvable hardware with selected application examples requiring real time response capabilities.

64x64 Analog Input Array for 3-Dimensional Neural Network Processor

In pattern recognition and classification for spatio-temporal problems, one of the most challenging tasks is to provide a good and valid solution in real-time. Because of time constraints, software-based neural network approaches may not be suitable for practical use. Hardware solutions seem to be good candidates for this class of problems. Currently, the Three Dimensional Analog Neural Network (3-DANN) is an effective approach to solving spatio-temporal problems in three-dimensional hardware.
