| 1. A reconfigurable neural network system, comprising:
a plurality of interconnected FPGAs (field programmable gate arrays) forming an FPGA array, each FPGA including a packet router
and forming a plurality of internal neural network nodes; and
a neural network controller coupled to the interconnected FPGAs and providing input and control data to the FPGAs;
wherein connections between neural network nodes are made utilizing data packets processed by the packet routers within the
FPGAs.
