On Robust Evolution of Digital Hardware

چکیده
In this paper we investigate whether multi-objective evolution of digital hardware components has advantages over single-objective evolution in terms of convergence and robustness. To that end, we experimentally compare a standard genetic algorithm to several multi-objective optimizers on a set of test problems. The results show that, for more complex test problems, the multi-objective optimizers TSPEA2 and NSGAII indeed outperform the single-objective genetic algorithm as they more often evolve correct circuits, and mostly with less computational effort.

On Feasibility of Adaptive Level Hardware Evolution for Emergent Fault Tolerant Communication
A permanent physical fault in communication lines usually leads to a failure. The feasibility of evolution of a self organized communication is studied in this paper to defeat this problem. In this case a communication protocol may emerge between blocks and also can adapt itself to environmental changes like physical faults and defects. In spite of faults, blocks may continue to function since ...
متن کاملRobust Controller Design Based-on Aerodynamic Load Simulator Identification Driven by PMSM for Hardware-in-the-Loop Simulations
Aerodynamic load simulators generate the required time varying load to test the actuator’s performance in the laboratory. Electric Load Simulator (ELS) as one of variety of the dynamic load simulators should follows the rotation of the Under Test Actuator (UTA) and applies the desired torque to UTA’s rotor at the same time. In such a situation, a very large torque is imposed to the ELS from the...

متن کاملA novel vedic divider based crypto-hardware for nanocomputing paradigm: An extended perspective
Restoring and non-restoring divider has become widely applicability in the era of digital computing application due to its computation speed. In this paper, we have proposed the design of divider of different architecture for the computation of Vedic sutra based. The design of divider in the Vedic mode results in high computation throughput due to its replica architecture, where latency is mini...

One of the key areas in which evolvable hardware has shown to excel is in achieving robust analogue and digital electronics. In this paper this domain is investigated further by manipulation of the digital abstraction. Some of the strict requirements of digital gates are relaxed in order to increase the complexity of the functionality available to evolution in order to evolve fault tolerant des...
