Abstract
In this paper a universal, coarse-grained reconfigurable architecture for hardware acceleration of decision trees (DTs), artificial neural networks (ANNs), and support vector machines (SVMs) is proposed. Using proposed architecture, two versions of DTs (Functional DT and Axis-Parallel DT), two versions of SVMs (with polynomial and radial kernels) and two versions of ANNs (Multi Layer Perceptron and Radial Basis), have been implemented in FPGA. Experimental results, based on 18 benchmark datasets from standard UCI Machine Learning Repository Database, indicate that FPGA implementation provides significant improvement (1–3 orders of magnitude) in the average instance classification time, in comparison with software implementations, based on WEKA and R project.
