A variable predicate logic processor (VPLP) is proposed for artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, computer-aided medicine, electronic security, and other applications. The development is realized as an accelerating unit in AI computing machines. The difference from known designs, the datapath of this processor consists of universal gates changing on-the-fly their logical styles-subsets of predicate logic according to the data type and implemented instructions. In this paper, the processor’s reconfigurable gates and the main units are proposed, designed, modeled, and verified using a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) board and corresponding computer-aided design (CAD) tool. The implemented processor confirmed its reconfigurability on-the-fly performing testing codes. This processor is interesting in accelerating AI computing, molecular and quantum calculations in science, cryptography, computer-aided medicine, robotics, etc. |
