Abstract
Describes PARGEFREX, a distributed approach to genetic-neuro-fuzzy learning which has been implemented using the MULTISOFT machine, a low-cost form of personal computers built at the University of Messina. The performance of the serial version is hugely enhanced with the simple parallelization scheme described in the paper. Once a learning dataset is fixed, there is a very high super linear speedup in the average time needed to reach a prefixed learning error, i.e., if the number of personal computers increases by n times, the mean learning time becomes less than 1/n times
