How 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 simul...

Fixed point toolbox is the solver engine. If you don't have it, the simulation won't run. To add DSP builder use "Set Paths" >> All folders with subfolders >> Find your DSP builder folder >> OK

So based on what you said, you are trying to replicate the algorithm in the following paper: "A discrete-time dynamic K-winners-take-all neural circuit" Pavlo V. Tymoshchuk 2009. Correct?

If so, Figure 2 from this paper shows you the digital implementation of this neural network...

Here a1, a2,....aN are your input ports (N inputs). and b1,b2,....bN are your output ports (MY BAD, i said 1 output last time).... Out of these N outputs you will select the K largest b values.

Actually the sorting algorithm might be a little more difficult than your neural network, b/c you have to sort the b outputs and record their initial positions to finally sort the a inputs.
