  • Abstract
    This paper presents the architecture of a parallel processor dedicated to real-time fuzzy application. The main features of the architecture are: a pre-computation phase of the positive degree of truth of the antecedent with fuzzy inputs; a detection phase of the active rules. The processing speed is up to 2.8 MFLIPS (256 Rules, 8 Antecedents, 1 Consequent). The silicon area estimated is 25 mm2
