Implementation of an analogical reasoning coprocessor

Analogical reasoning technique is significant to the development of artificial intelligence (AI) systems. The computing systems based on conventional architecture are very inefficient in doing analogical reasoning. Because of this, the high performance embedded analogical reasoning system, called analogical reasoning coprocessor (ARC), was presented. The confronted difficulties for implementing ARC were analyzed. Since ARC has a specialized architecture with special strategy to support analogical reasoning mechanism and advanced integrated devices are adopted, so the efficiency in speed of analogical reasoning is improved.
