Agent-based decision aids can improve their performance by mining domain knowledge captured in cognitive domain ontologies (CDOs). This paper introduces a cognitively enhanced complex event processing (CECEP) architecture to enable enhanced agent-based decision making. Additionally the paper examines the parallelization and acceleration of a key knowledge mining process within the architecture on high performance computing platforms. Speedups of almost a 1000 times were seen using 8 NVIDIA Tesla C2070 GPGPUs over 1 Xeon X5650 processor core. Speedups of this level will allow more complex knowledge domains to be searched in real time on reactive agents and thus enable systems with enhanced intelligence to be designed.
