SNNS: Stuttgart Neural Network Simulator

areas/neural/systems/snns/
SNNS (Stuttgart Neural Network Simulator) is a software simulator for neural networks on Unix workstations developed at the Institute for Parallel and Distributed High Performance Systems (IPVR) at the University of Stuttgart. The SNNS simulator contains a simulator kernel written in ANSI C and a 2D/3D graphical user interface running under X11R4/X11R5. SNNS includes the following learning procedures: backpropagation (online, batch, with momentum and flat spot elimin., time delay), counterpropagation, quickprop, backpercolation 1, and generalized radial basis functions (RBF), RProp, recurrent ART-1, ART-2 and ARTMAP, Cascade Correlation and Recurrent Cascade Correlation, Dynamic LVQ, and Time delay networks (TDNN). (Elman networks and some other network paradigms have already been implemented but are scheduled for a later release.) NESSUS is a language for the description of neural networks. The Nessus compiler creates a network description that can be read by SNNS. SNNS2C is a tool to convert the description of a neural network from SNNS format to C source code. This code can then be linked to an existing program as a subroutine. SNNS is among the most popular neural network simulators.
