Abstract
We describe here the project RAIN, started at the beginning of 1997 and aimed to demonstrate the use of High Performance Computing and Networking technologies in neura! network applications for industry and medicine. The target architecture of the demonstrators will be a cluster of workstations: this choice will aIlow a Iow-cost implementation and, at the same time, wilI provide sorne insight on the use of this relatively new (at least outside the academic world) parallel architecture. Several communication networks will be tested ranging from 10 Mb/s Ethernet to 155 Mb/s ATM.
