FPGA implementation of artificial neural networks

Abstract

As the title suggests our project deals with a hardware implementation of artificial neural networks, specifically a FPGA implementation. During the course of this project we learnt about ANNs and the uses of such soft computing approaches, FPGAs, VHDL and use of various tools like Xilinx ISE Project Navigator and ModelSim. As numerous hardware implementations of ANNs already exist our aim was to come up with an approach that would facilitate topology evolution of the ANN as well.
