The new IBM Zero Instruction Set Computer (ZISC) provides a radial basis function neural network. The first generation chip (ZISC036) allows for 64 8-bit inputs, 36 RBF neurons in the middle layer, and up to 16383 possible output categories. Forward processing takes 4μs with a 20MHz clock. Cascading multiple chips increases the number of available RBF’s with no increase in processing time. The chip also executes a learning algorithm. We report on tests of the ZISC with a high energy physics related task.
