Integrated Systems, Inc.'s software module brings neural nets to MATRIXx.SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 15, 1997-- Capabilities include design, modeling, simulation and real-time code generation for neural network neural network or neural computing, computer architecture modeled upon the human brain's interconnected system of neurons. Neural networks imitate the brain's ability to sort out patterns and learn from trial and error, discerning and extracting models Integrated Systems, Inc. (ISI ISI International Sensitivity Index, see there ) (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities.

Embedded software may be immediately available to the CPU or, for faster execution, may be transferred to RAM first and then executed. solutions, today announced the availability of ISI's Neural Network Module(TM) (NNM NNM Network Node Manager NNM NASDAQ National Market (financial) NNM National Nutrition Month (March; American Dietetic Association) NNM Naryan-Mar (Russia) NNM Net New Money ) for MATRIXx(R) design environment. The NNM is a flexible, interactive tool that gives MATRIXx users design, modeling, simulation, and real-time code generation capabilities for artificial neural networks. The neural network models produced by the NNM fully support ISI's AutoCode(R) C and Ada, enabling MATRIXx users to generate real-time code with neural network functionality. The module provides users with a GUI-based interactive environment for neural network creation, including specification and customization of the characteristics of neurons, the basic building blocks of neural networks. The NNM tool allows the user to describe three essential aspects of any neural network design: the neuronal model, the training procedure, and the basic network architecture. It is suited for a wide range of applications areas including control system design, pattern recognition, adaptive signal processing See DSP. , target estimation/identification, and information theory. "The Neural Network Module is a complete solution for using neural networks in the MATRIXx environment," said Naren Gupta, Chairman of Integrated Systems. "From the initial design and test of a Neural Network-based control strategy in SystemBuild(TM), to the generation of C or Ada code through AutoCode, the NNM is fully integrated into the family of MATRIXx tools." The NNM facilitates design of artificial neural networks by making the following selection of networks available to users: Feed-forward, Radial Basis Function A radial basis function (RBF) is a real-valued function whose value depends only on the distance from the origin, so that , Recurrent, Backpropagation back·prop·a·ga·tion n. A common method of training a neural net in which the initial system output is compared to the desired output, and the system is adjusted until the difference between the two is minimized. and Competitive Learning. Integration with SystemBuild Software The Neural Network Module automatically generates MATRIXx SystemBuild block diagrams based on user input. These block diagrams can be used in simulation and interconnected with other SystemBuild block diagrams to create more complex systems. Finally, a neural network block diagram can then be used to generate run-time code for real-time deployment. Availability and Pricing Integrated Systems' MATRIXx Neural Network Module will be available in early 1997 for Windows(R) 95, Windows NT (Windows New Technology) A 32-bit operating system from Microsoft for Intel x86 CPUs. NT is the core technology in Windows 2000 and Windows XP (see Windows). Available in separate client and server versions, it includes built-in networking and preemptive multitasking. , and UNIX UNIX Operating system for digital computers, developed by Ken Thompson of Bell Laboratories in 1969. It was initially designed for a single user (the name was a pun on the earlier operating system Multics). workstations. Pricing for the NNM is $3,000 USD USD In currencies, this is the abbreviation for the U.S. Dollar. Notes: The currency market, also known as the Foreign Exchange market, is the largest financial market in the world, with a daily average volume of over US $1 trillion. for UNIX-based systems and $2,250 USD for Windows 95 and Windows NT-based systems. MATRIXx Product Family The MATRIXx product family provides a complete solution for graphical design, simulation, automatic code and document generation, and testing of real-time dynamic systems. The product family features SystemBuild for graphical modeling and simulation, Xmath(R) for object-oriented mathematical analysis and visualization, AutoCode for automatic C and Ada source code generation, DocumentIt(TM) for automatic document generation and the RealSim Series(TM) of rapid prototyping computers.
