EHWPack: a parallel Software/Hardware Environment for Evolvable Hardware
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes the EHWPack development system, a tool that performs the evolutionary synthesis of electronic circuits, using the SPICE simulator and the Field Programmable Transistor Array hardware (FPTA) developed at JPL. EHWPack integrates free and commercial software packages such as PGAPack for the evolutionary algorithm, Spice for the circuit evaluation, Tcl-Tk for the graphic interface, and LabView for the hardware evaluation. The paper investigates the performance of the tool in two typical problems of EHW: evolutionary synthesis of a Gaussian computational function and the evolution of a band-pass filter.

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 کاملAn On-line Evolvable Hardware for Learning Finite-State Machine
The paper proposes an on-line evolvable hardware (EHW), called mimetic EHW. The task is to mimic a sequential circuit by observing its partial input/output sequences. The genetic algorithm (GA) is used to search for the circuit satisfying input/output sequences collected from the target circuit. The mimetic EHW consists of a custom microprocessor and a tness evaluator. The microprocessor is par...
