A distributed network simulation environment for multi-processing systems

A simulator for neural network models is presented which is based on the X Window System programming environment and allows interactive construction of many different network models. The visualization of net topologies and parameters is handled by graphic workstations. Furthermore, the simulator is capable of using a multiprocessing system to perform time-consuming net control algorithms, which have been especially designed to efficiently use the underlying hardware. Several tools are being implemented for controlling the distribution of computational tasks, performed on a neural network, among the available processors
