Design of CNN Chip with annealing Capability

어닐링 기능을 갖는 CNN칩 설계

In this paper the cellular neural networks with annealing capability is designed. The annealing capability helps the networks escape from the local-minimum points and quickly search for the global-minimum point. A 6$\times$6 CNN chip is designed using a $0.8\mu\textrm{m}$ CMOS technology, and the chip area is 2.89mm$\times$2.89mm. The simulation results for hole filling image processing show that the general CNN has a local-minimum problem, but the annealed CNN finds the global-minimum solutions very efficiently.
