CNN model on cell multiprocessor array

Array computers can be useful in the solution of numerical spatio-temporal problems such as the state equation of the CNN or partial differential equations (PDE). IBM has recently introduced the cell broadband engine (Cell BE) Architecture which contains 8 identical vector processors in an array structure. In the paper the implementation of CNN simulation kernel on the Cell BE is described. The simulation kernel is optimized, according to the special requirements of the Cell BE and can use linear and also nonlinear (piecewise linear) templates. The area/speed/power tradeoffs of our solution and different hardware implementations are also compared.
