Abstract

The three-dimensional (3D) model of a feedforward neural network (NN) based on so called N-hypercube topology is proposed. The N-hypercube is different from the classical hypercube used in communication theory, and in Boolean algebra. This new structure has been created based on a novel algorithm for embedding a binary decision tree and binary decision diagram into a N-hypercube. It is shown that N-hypercube topology is a reasonable solution to implement NN of threshold gates, in particular, on the single-electron devices. The 3D design methodology of feedforward NN is oriented to technology mapping to nanodevices. Results of extensive experimental study of feedforward networks consisting of over 3500 N-hypercubes are presented.
