            Abstract : 
BP feed-forward network is the most widely applied neural network. There are a number of algorithms currently. The respective strengths and weaknesses of 8 kinds of BP algorithm provided by the neural network toolbox in MATLAB are studied in the paper in order to choose a more appropriate and faster algorithms under different conditions. Based on this, the measurement of vacuum level with the method of magnetron-discharge is taken as an example to carry on the simulation, the convergence steps of a variety of BP algorithm are compared in different situations, the fast convergence property of trainlm is confirmed, the conclusion is obtained that BP algorithm can forecast the vacuum level.
