Network on Chip architecture for BP neural network

Recently, networks-on-chips (NoCs) have a great development and have been proposed as a promising solution to complex on-chip communication problems. One of the problems is an application of artificial neural networks (ANNs). In this paper, we propose NoCs for the ANNs. NoCs is designed to implement a BP-ANNs (back-propagation) and evaluated by network-on-chips. Experimental results show that for has a great reduction in communication load and a high connection per second (CPS) compared with traditional BP-ANNs. It is also reconfigurable, expandable and stable to meet various problems.
