Automatic synthesis of hashing function circuits using evolutionary techniques
Ernesto Damiani, Andrea G. B. Tettamanzi, Valentino Liberali · 1998
An evolutionary technique is applied to the design of a digital circuit which computes a simple hashing function to map a 16-bit address space into an 8-bit one. Based on an FPGA architecture, the circuit is synthesized automatically through simulated evolution. Experimental results demonstrate that the evolved cir-cuits have better performance than standard hashing functions based on modulus. 1.
