Abstract :
The focus of European neural computing research is the ESPRIT II PYGMALION Project, and its successor GALATEA. The authors present their view of this general-purpose neurocomputing system. They describe the PYGMALION programming environment and propose a design for the GALATEA neurocomputing system and neurocomputer architecture. Lastly, they discuss the design of `neural´ chips for the neurocomputer (general-purpose circuits), and the silicon compiler (for special-purpose circuits) which uses PYGMALION´s intermediate level language nC
