The objective of this paper is to implement parallel multi-layer ANN(Artificial Neural Network) simulator based on the mobile agent system which is executed in parallel in the virtual parallel distributed computing environment. The Multi-Layer Neural Network is classified by training session, training data layer, node, md weight in the parallelization-level. In this study, We have developed and evaluated the simulator with which it is feasible to parallel the ANN in the training session and training data parallelization because these have relatively few network traffic. In this results, we have verified that the performance of parallelization is high about 3.3 times in the training session and training data. The great significance of this paper is that the performance of ANN's execution on virtual parallel computer is similar to that of ANN's execution on existing super-computer. Therefore, we think that the virtual parallel computer can be considerably helpful in developing the neural network because it decreases the training time which needs extra-time.

A systolic array is a parallel processing system which consists of processing elements of basic computation capabilities, connected with regular and local communication lines. It has been known that a systolic array is on of effective systems to solve complicated communication problems occurred between densely connected neurons on ANN(Artificial Neural Network). In this paper, a systolic array simulator for the back-propagation ANN, which automatically constructs the proper systolic array for a given number of neurons of the ANN, is designed and constructed. With animation techniques of the simulators, it is easy for users to be able to examine the execution of the back-propagation algorithm on the designed systolic array step by step. Moreover the simulator can perform forward and backward operations of the back-propagation algorithm either in sequence or in parallel on the designed systolic array. Parallel execution can be performed by feeding continuous input patterns and by executing bidirectional propagations on all of processing elements of a systolic array at the same time.
