Multi-Logics Gates

In this conference paper, a set of multi-logics gates is proposed, designed, and verified. They are applicable for a novel type of application-specific processors based on predicate logic. These gates produce results equal to eight different types of logic operations which are suitable for artificial intelligence applications. To avoid the time-consuming program emulations of the above-mentioned logic in Boolean machines, the predicate signals are mapped to the inputs and outputs of the modified electronic gates. They fulfill logical operations with elementary predicate expressions in a parallel micro-level manner, where the time reduction and new logical functionalities are reached. Proposed gates are designed and verified by means of Intel (formerly Altera) field-programmable gate array (FPGA) board together with its commercially available computer-aided design tools. The further research is with the design of a new on-the-fly multi-logics predicate processor architecture for artificial intelligence applications.
