Neural Network Chips and Applications

This talk reviews work done at Holmdel on designing and building chips that function as electronic neural networks. These include a 22x22 thin film resistor array, a 54 x 54 VLSI network with programmable synapses, and a 256 x 2456 VLSI network with fixed resistor synapses. The talk also describes a method for constructing a hierarchical network using many chips.
