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