Abstract

Today's reconfigurable technology provides vast parallelism that may be exploited in the design of a cellular computing machine (CCM). In this work a virtual Sblock FPGA is implemented on an existing FPGA, achieving not only an architecture in keeping with cellular computing principles but also suited to biologically inspired design methods. The design method proposed is a combination of evolution and development and results of running a developmental model on the CCM are presented.
