A neural maximum selector: explicit parameter set-up for time performance
Authors: Ruxandra L. Costea, Corneliu A. Marinov
Abstract
A continuous time neural network of Hopfield type is considered. It is a W(inner) T(akes) A(ll) selector. Its inputs are capacitively coupled to model the parasitics or faults of overcrowded chip layers. A certain parameter setting allows the correct selection of the maximum element from an input list. As processing time is a performance criterium, we infer upper bounds of it, explicitly depending on circuit and list parameters. Our method consists of converting the system of nonlinear differential equations describing the circuit to a system of decoupled linear inequalities.
