10 years agoHow to simulate the FPGA neural network in Altera
I want to simulate the some kind of schematics that work by principle of neural networks. I have Altera Quadrus 11. But when trying create some verilog or vhdl code I see that compilation and simulation items of menu is disabled. Should it due to absence of installed device --such warning is appered when creating the project or I do not entered the license properly. If the issue is in not installed device, which one can I use for my student work, how much space it could take. Can I use the web-edition for this purposes, with or without device?
And the next set of questions relates to the ocding of logical circuit in Altera or Modelsim (which one could I use-- now I have just Model-Sim free edition). The logic circuit should sort analog signals. The other components of circuits is adders with 2 addings and one substraction, and one with adding of all N signals (or non-binary numbers) the N+2 step functions (comparators of amplitude of signals with some x), and one multiplicator and one integrator. So definitive question is the concept and specific of neural networs with back-propagation method in HDL, and other ones is concerning the converting decimal numbers to binary ones (or it could be allowed to be binary from the start), how implement of multiplication for the big coeficent, how the comparator works in Verilog/VHDL, and the most unsure --about integrating the function. I do not exactly even know what is the role of integrator in logic circle (in this case it is connected with the multiplicator and authors even jjust whol ethe whole structure --inverting integrator --*(-Alpha)). Where I could find such examples in VHDL, but it would be better in Verilog, that I studied something. What structure and size of teh whole programming module should be if N (number of sorted items) is 5-6...
