Evolutionary design of combinational logic circuits using VRA processor
This paper presents a virtual reconfigurable architecture (VRA)-based evolvable hardware for automatic synthesis of combinational logic circuits. The VRA processor is implemented on a Xilinx FPGA and works through two-stage evolutions: (1) finding a functional circuit, and (2) minimizing the number of gates used. To optimize the algorithm performance in the evolutionary process, a self-adaptive...
متن کاملEvolutionary Multiobjective Design of Combinational Logic Circuits
In this paper, we propose an evolutionary multiobjective optimization approach to design combinational logic circuits. The idea is to use a population-based technique that considers outputs of a circuit as equality constraints that we aim to satisfy. A small sub-population is assigned to each objective. After one of these objectives is satisfied, its corresponding sub-population is merged with ...
متن کاملTowards automated evolutionary design of combinational circuits
In this paper we propose a methodology based on a genetic algorithm (GA) to automate the design of combinational logic circuits in which we aim to minimize the total number of gates used. Our results are compared against those produced by human designers and by another GA-based approach. We also analyze the importance of using a non-binary representation in this problem despite the commonly acc...
متن کاملTechniques for Estimation of Design Diversity for Combinational Logic Circuits
Design diversity has long been used to protect redundant systems against common-mode failures. The conventional notion of diversity relies on “independent” generation of “different” implementations of the same logic function. This concept is qualitative and does not provide a basis to compare the reliabilities of two diverse systems. In a recent paper, we presented a metric to quantify diversit...
متن کاملAnt Colony System for the Design of Combinational Logic Circuits
In this paper we propose an application of the Ant System (AS) to optimize combinational logic circuits at the gate level. We deene a measure of quality improvement in partially built circuits to compute the distances required by the AS and we consider as optimal those solutions that represent functional circuits with a minimum amount of gates. The proposed methodology is described together wit...
