Custom architectures for fuzzy and neural networks controllers.

From: Journal of Computer Science & Technology | Date: October 1, 2002| Author: Nelson, Acosta; Marcelo, Tosini | Copyright information

Abstract: Standard hardware, dedicated microcontroller or application specific circuits can implement fuzzy logic or neural network controllers. This paper presents efficient architecture approaches to develop controllers using specific circuits. A generator uses several tools that allow translating the initial problem specification to a specific circuit implementation, by using HDL descriptions. These HDL description files can be synthesized to get the FPGA configuration bit-strea...
