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 models

Integrated Systems, Inc. (ISI) (NASDAQ: INTS), the leading supplier of embedded software solutions, today announced the availability of ISI's Neural Network Module(TM) (NNM) 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, 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, Recurrent, Backpropagation 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, and UNIX workstations. Pricing for the NNM is $3,000 USD 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. The MATRIXx family enables design engineers to take a project through every step of the design process, from concept development to final product design.
