Abstract
Methods and systems for neural network processing include configuring a physical network topology for a network that includes hardware nodes in accordance with a neural network topology, one of which is designated as a master node with any other nodes in the network being designated as slave nodes. One or more virtual neurons are configured at each of the hardware nodes by the master node to create a neural network having the neural network topology. Each virtual neuron has a neuron function and logical network connection information that establishes weighted connections between different virtual neurons. A neural network processing function is executed using the neural network.
