Abstract

EHW is the acronym used to denote an emerging and relatively new research field in digital hardware design; it stands for Evolvable Hardware. This technique has attracted many researchers since the 1990's. EHW aims at an automatic design and optimisation of a reconfigurable hardware system using Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs), such as Genetic Algorithms, Genetic programming etc. This article is published as part of a three years research project. The objective of this project is to employ the above method on a target specific hardware, the Embryonics Hardware System. The latter requires large hardware resources. Thus, in this project, EAs will be used to evolve the Embryonics Hardware System to discover novel design with reduced complexity. The new design must first ensure the correct functionality. Hence to verify the concept of Evolvable Hardware, the authors, in this paper, focus on the design of relatively simple combinatorial logic circuits using Genetic Algorithms with multi-objective fitness.
