We present a novel reasoning calculus for the description logic SHOIQ^+---a knowledge representation formalism with applications in areas such as Semantic Web. Unnecessary nondeterminism and construction of large models are two primary sources inefficiency tableau-based calculi used state-of-the-art reasoners. In order to reduce nondeterminism, we base our on hypertableau hyperresolution calculi, which extend blocking condition ensure termination. size constructed models, introduce anywhere...
Domain-specific SoCs (DSSoCs) are an attractive solution for domains with extremely stringent power, performance, and area constraints. However, DSSoCs suffer from two fundamental complexities. On the one hand, their many specialized hardware blocks result in complex systems thus high development effort. other system knobs expand complexity of design space, making search optimal difficult. Thus to reach prevalence, taming such complexities is necessary. To address these challenges, this...
