Abstract
A neural processing module is disclosed which combines a weighted synapse array that performs “primitive arithmetic” (products and sums) in parallel with a weight change architecture and a data input architecture that collectively maximize the use of the weighted synapse array by providing it with signal permutations as frequently as possible. The neural processing module is used independently, or in combination with other modules in a planar or stacked arrangement.
