This talk presents different VLSI models of artificial neural
networks ranging from abstract ones using binary neurons to
biologically inspired pulse-coupled systems. Circuit examples
demonstrating common design principles for optimizing area usage and
network speed are shown. The usage of digital communication
protocols allows the parallelization of the analog network cores to...

In step with Moore’s Law, FPGAs are continuing their rapid progress. IC technology
makes circuits smaller and faster, while 300 mm wafers with low defect density
reduce the cost. Innovative chip structures support adaptation to conflicting user
demands, and combine with flip-chip packaging to improve the electrical
characteristics.
This paper describes several new or enhanced...

Using the FPGA Virtual File System for Dynamic Reconfiguration of
FPGAs, we have been investigating improvements to various aspects and components of
the ALICE electronics. In this paper, we will briefly summarize the results
from our work on improving the radiation tolerance of FPGA-based experiment
electronics, followed by a deeper coverage of our more recent work on using the
File...
