| Abstract | In this paper we describe the implementation of the backpropagation algorithm by means of an object oriented library (ARCH). The use of this library relieve the user from the details of a specific parallel programming paradigm and at the same time allows a greater portability of the generated code.To provide a comparison with existing solutions, we survey the most relevant implementations of the algorithm proposed so far in the literature, both on dedicated and general purpose computers.Extensive experimental results show that the use of the library does not hurt the performance of our simulator, on the contrary our implementation on a Connection Machine (CM-5) is comparable with the fastest in its category. |
