Neural network (NN), also known as artificial neural network (ANN), provides efficient results in every computation, whether it is pattern recognition, forecasting, customer research, data validation, risk management, data mining, etc. In each computation, NN requires a specific dataset, and according to the datasets, a new NN structure is used to compute the results. Thus, these NN structures mostly depend upon the type of datasets. The current study presents a method that comprises a dedicated architecture known as neuromorphic neural network (NNN), which is made up of optical waveguides that enable high communication and data processing speed at the same time. We have also proposed three algorithms for configuring and building distinct ANN structures from the same architecture. These dedicated structures are not dependent on the datasets and employ the necessary processing element (PE) nodes to function as neurons in the hidden layer. Because specialized resources will be employed to perform operations in the hidden layer, these designs may produce more efficient outcomes than the present logical NN. Furthermore, we assessed our proposed architecture in terms of communication latency, deadlock prevention, energy consumption, and power usage. The simulation results show that deadlocks are avoided to the greatest extent possible, power consumption is reduced by up to 95%, and communicational latency is accomplished in the order of femtoseconds while conversing among PE nodes. The proposed architecture and simulation results promise an alternative for logical NN as well as improved results in terms of speed and efficiency.
