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