This work was to establish whether it was possible to achieve a reasonable speedup by implementing FPGA based Hopfield neural networks for some simple constraint satisfaction problems. The results are significant our initial implementation using standard Xilinx FPGAs yielded 2-3 orders of magnitude speedup over the Sun Blade 2000 workstation comes with 1.2-GHz version of the 64-bit UltraSPARC III Cu processor. The main problem with the work to date is that the problems are both unrealistically small and simplistic. That is the constraints on the N-Queen problem are simpler than those found in...
