On Evolvable Hardware

چکیده
Electronic circuit production is a significant industry. Ever more complex behaviors are being demanded from electronic circuits, fuelled by relentless improvements in circuit embodiment technologies. Consequently a bottleneck is developing at the point of circuit design. Traditional circuit design methodologies rely on rules that have been developed over many decades. However the need for human input to the increasingly complex design process means that modern circuit production takes one of two paths. The first is to employ more designers with greater expertise. This is expensive. The second is to simplify circuit design by imposing greater and greater abstraction to the design space. An example of this is the use of hardware description languages. This results in mounting waste of potential circuit behavior.

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 کاملImplementation of Evolvable Fuzzy Hardware for Packet Scheduling Through Online Context Switching
Real-time cell scheduling is a promising area for the application of evolvable hardware (EHW). In this paper, we describe an intrinsic evolvable and online adaptive EHW for solving the packet switching problem. Based on the coding and evolution scheme, we refer to it as evolvable fuzzy hardware (EFH), an extension of our proposed evolvable fuzzy system (EFS) [1, 2] and reconfigurable fuzzy infe...
متن کاملBehavior evolution of autonomous mobile robot using genetic programming based on evolvable hardware
This paper presents a genetic programming based evolutionary strategy for on-line adaptive learnable evolvable hardware. Genetic programming can be useful control method for evolvable hardware for its unique tree structured chromosome. However it is difficult to represent tree structured chromosome on hardware, and it is difficult to use crossover operator on hardware. Therefore, genetic progra...
