Performance evaluation of a parameterized fuzzy processor (PFP)

[[abstract]]© 1996 Elsevier-In the human-based world, the general-purpose and high-speed fuzzy processor which supports more functions and capabilities plays a very important role. A parameterized fuzzy processor (PFP) has been proposed earlier (B.-T. Chen et al., 1993) to demonstrate its structure and applications. In this paper, the general performance of the PFP is shown in detail by a series of analyzing results. First, fuzzy data presentation adopted in the PFP is evaluated by the proposed criteria and compared with the other presentations. According to the versatile data presentations, the general-purpose operations are evaluated by the computation order and run time. Second, the emphasized characteristics of PFP operations possess the feasibility of parallel and pipelined processing. The designed circuit and execution cycles are confirmed in a simulation environment. Finally, the fuzzy applications extendable by the general-purpose PFP shown by the solvable operations. Based on the PFP, a processing model for human-based problems is proposed to analyze the fuzzy applications. A practical application is proposed to demonstrate the capability of the PFP[[department]]電機工程學
