Abstract
A neural processor, including neural calculation apparatus (30, NQ, RQ) which normalize an input data X with respect to another input data Y. The calculation apparatus performs a division of X by Y in order to determine a quotient Q. The calculation apparatus is trained to calculate by iteration a series of contributions .DELTA.Q.sub.i which are used to update a partial quotient QP which becomes the quotient Q at the end of calculation. Calculation can be performed on an arbitrary arithmetic base which determines the number of neurons utilized and also the accuracy of the calculation. It is also possible to utilize a partial remainder RP.
