Abstract
A system includes a plurality of nonvolatile memory cells and a map that assigns connections between nodes of a neural network to the memory cells. Memory devices containing nonvolatile memory cells and applicable circuitry for reading and writing may operate with the map. Information stored in the memory cells can represent weights of the connections. One or more neural processors can be present and configured to implement the neural network.
