The performance limits of optical, electro-optical, and electronic artificial neural systems (ANS) processors (also known as neurocomputers) are discussed. After a brief introduction, an overview is provided of the recently revived field of ANS. Next, ANS performance measures are defined and a neurocomputer taxonomy is presented. Finally, the designs and performance limits of the various types of neurocomputers are discussed.
