Abstract

A model calculating unit for the selective calculation of an RBF model or of a neural layer of a multilayer perceptron model having a hardwired processor core designed in hardware for calculating a fixedly specified computing algorithm in coupled function blocks. The processor core is designed to calculate an output variable for an RBF model as a function of one or multiple input variables of an input variable vector, of supporting points, of length scales, of parameters specified for each supporting point, the processor core furthermore being designed to calculate an output variable for each neuron for the neural layer of the multilayer perceptron model having a number of neurons as a function of the one or the multiple input variables of the input variable vector, of a weighting matrix having weighting factors and an offset value specified for each neuron.
