Parallel Kohonen Neural Network C#

What is  Kohonen Neural Network?

A self-organizing map (SOM) or self-organising feature map (SOFM) is a type of artificial neural network (ANN) that is trained using unsupervised learning to produce a low-dimensional (typically two-dimensional), discretized representation of the input space of the training samples, called a map. Self-organizing maps are different from other artificial neural networks as they apply competitive learning as opposed to error-correction learning (such as backpropagation with gradient descent), and in the sense that they use a neighborhood function to preserve the topological properties of the input space.

This makes SOMs useful for visualizing low-dimensional views of high-dimensional data, akin to multidimensional scaling. The artificial neural network introduced by the Finnish professor Teuvo Kohonen in the 1980s is sometimes called a Kohonen map or network.[1][2] The Kohonen net is a computationally convenient abstraction building on work on biologically neural models from the 1970s[3] and morphogenesis models dating back to Alan Turing in the 1950s[4]

I search the net and found this great blog Dynamic Notions (link-dead) that have a short nice C# code for Kohonen Network.

The only problem was, the code is not utilize the multi-threaded modernize CPU’s. So I parallelize the code.
