Abstract
This paper discusses the design of a hybrid artificial neural network (ANN) system and its implementation in the Parallel Virtual Machine (PVM) environment. First, the PVM functions for supporting parallel applications and communications among multiple processes and multiple machines are investigated. Then, the design and construction of a hybrid ANN simulation software is proposed. It includes the user interface, control and SPMD computing levels. The software can be used for supporting parallel simulation of different kinds of learning algorithms and neural computing models.
