Abstract: In this paper we propose a combination of capabilities of the FPGA based device and PC computer for rough sets based data processing resulting in generating decision rules. Presented architecture has been tested on the exemplary datasets. Obtained results confirm the significant acceleration of the computation time using hardware supporting rough set operations in comparison to software implementation.
