  • Abstract
    The distance thresholding method is introduced as a means of reducing power dissipation for self-organising map (SOM)/learning vector quantisation (LVQ) calculations using a single instruction multiple data (SIMD) array. The method requires little additional hardware support. For three standard SOM/LVQ benchmarks power reductions are approximately 45%.
