Advanced techniques for the creation and propagation of modules in cartesian genetic programming
Paul Kaufmann, Marco Platzner · 2008
The choice of an appropriate hardware representation model is key to successful evolution of digital circuits. One of the most popular models is cartesian genetic programming, which encodes an array of logic gates into a chromosome. While several smaller circuits have been successfully evolved on this model, it lacks scalability. A recent approach towards scalable hardware evolution is based on the automated creation of modules from primitive gates.
