A Parallel Processing model by considering a spatiotemporal parallelism is presented for the training procedure of the MLP neural network. We tried to design the flexible Parallel Processing model by simultaneously applying both of the training-set decomposition for a temporal parallelism and the network decomposition for a spatial parallelism. The analytical Performance evaluation model shows that when the problem size is extremely large, the speedup of each implementation depends, in the extreme, on whether the problem size is pattern-size intensive or pattern-quantify intensive.
