The evolution of standard cell libraries for future technology nodes

Abstract  Evolvable Hardware has been a discipline for over 15 years. Its application has ranged from simple circuit design to antenna
design. However, research in the field has often been criticised for not addressing real world proble… Continue reading

Accelerating floating-point fitness functions in evolutionary algorithms: a FPGA-CPU-GPU performance comparison

Abstract  Many large combinatorial optimization problems tackled with evolutionary algorithms often require very high computational
times, usually due to the fitness evaluation. This fact forces programmers to use clusters of computers, a co… Continue reading

Defining locality as a problem difficulty measure in genetic programming

Abstract  A mapping is local if it preserves neighbourhood. In Evolutionary Computation, locality is generally described as the property
that neighbouring genotypes correspond to neighbouring phenotypes. A representation has high locality if… Continue reading

An evolved anti-jamming adaptive beamforming network

Abstract  Interference in wireless networks is undesirable, whether it is due to unintentional or malicious causes. Adaptive beamforming
is a spatial filtering technique that can prevent jammers from disrupting wireless networks. This paper … Continue reading

Formal verification of candidate solutions for post-synthesis evolutionary optimization in evolvable hardware

Abstract  We propose to utilize a formal verification algorithm to reduce the fitness evaluation time for evolutionary post-synthesis
optimization in evolvable hardware. The proposed method assumes that a fully functional digital circuit is … Continue reading

Evolution of human-competitive lossless compression algorithms with GP-zip2

Abstract  We propose GP-zip2, a new approach to lossless data compression based on Genetic Programming (GP). GP is used to optimally
combine well-known lossless compression algorithms to maximise data compression. GP-zip2 evolves programs wi… Continue reading
