Abstract

This paper presents a scheme for very high-speed inexact reasoning and fuzzy inference configured for mesh-connected fine-grain parallel computer architectures. The underlying inference mechanism for the proposed scheme is a general rule-based fuzzy inference network. The inference rules are dis-tributed on the different processors of the array of processing elements and executed in parallel. The scheme also operates in a pipeline configuration in the array, where the array is configured into stages and different sets of data move between the stages. The tradeoff between space and time com-plexity of the proposed technique is discussed and we describe a space-efficient and fast implementation of the approach on the Geometric Array Parallel Processor, GAPP, which is an SIMD mesh-connected fine-grain archi-tecture developed by Martin Marietta Corporation. The proposed scheme achieves very high-speed performance on the GAPP.
