Analysis of the Behavior of a Hardware Implementation of GP using FPGAs and Handel-C

Crossover Operators For A Hardware Implementation Of GP Using FPGAs And Handel-C

This paper analyses the behavior of the crossover operator in a hardware implementation of Genetic Programming using Field Programmable Gate Arrays. Three different crossover operators that limit the lengths of programs are analysed: A truncating operator, a limiting operator that constrains the lengths of both offspring and a limiting operator that only constrains the length of one offspring. ...

An Analysis Of Random Number Generators For A Hardware Implementation Of Genetic Programming Using FPGAs And Handel-C

This paper analyses the effect of using different random number generators (RNG) in a hardware implementation of Genetic Programming using Field Programmable Gate Arrays. Hardware systems have typically used RNGs based on Logical Feedback Shift Registers or Cellular Automata. Different configurations of these generators are evaluated as well as using a source of true random numbers and a standa...

Genetic programming in hardware

Genetic Programming in Hardware This thesis describes a hardware implementation of a complete Genetic Programming (GP) system using a Field Programmable Gate Array, which is shown to speed-up GP by over 400 times when compared with a software implementation of the same algorithm. The hardware implements the creation of the initial population, breeding operators, parallel fitness evaluations and...

A Pipelined Hardware Implementation of Genetic Programming Using FPGAs and Handel-C

Differential Power Analysis: A Serious Threat to FPGA Security

Differential Power Analysis (DPA) implies measuring the supply current of a cipher-circuit in an attempt to uncover part of a cipher key. Cryptographic security gets compromised if the current waveforms obtained correlate with those from a hypothetical power model of the circuit. As FPGAs are becoming integral parts of embedded systems and increasingly popular for cryptographic applications and...
