Hi there,
I am building a three layer feedforward net at the moment
but I seem to have a problem with the memory of the machine.
When the layers go above a certain size the simulator can no
longer address all of the nodes. I think what might be happening
is that the starting address of a layer starts at some stage in a memory
frame and this address is used for indexing. It seams that if part of the
layer crosses the page into another page, instead of moving to the new page,
the index continues into the frame right after the initial one and causes
a floating point error. Has anybody else encountered anything like this.
Thanks.
turlough
