Customisable Multi-Processor Acceleration of Inductive Logic Programming

Imperial College London, UK

Parallel approaches to Inductive Logic Programming (ILP) are adopted to address the computational complexity in the learning process. Existing parallel ILP implementations build on conventional general-purpose processors. This chapter describes a different approach, by exploiting user-customisable parallelism available in advanced reconfigurable devices such as Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). Our customisable parallel architecture for ILP has three elements: a customisable logic programming processor, a multi-processor for parallel hypothesis evaluation, and an architecture generation framework for creating such multi-processors. Our approach offers a means of achieving high performance by producing parallel architectures adapted both to the problem domain and to specific problem instances. The coverage test in Progol 4.4 is performed up to 56 times faster using our multi-processor.
