This will help me get a start on the implementation of Evolvable Hardware. Ankit Parikh Manukau Institute Of Technology

From: Eric on 17 Aug 2005 09:43 Hey Ankit, I did a little bit of searching and I couldn't find an example of an evolutionary alogrithm in VHDL. All of the Genetic FPGA work I found is done on a PC, the end product of the evolutionary algorithim is to create the VHDL. Not the VHDL creating itself. Take a look at this masters Thesis http://www.ce.chalmers.se/~mek man/MasterThesis.pdf First you Create a template statemachine. Then run an evolutionary program on your PC. The fitness function is a VHDL test bench that excites the "Evolved" VHDL code This is done using Mentor or some other simulator. This processed is continued until the "Evolved" VHDL description functions the way you want it. Then you download it into a FPGA. So you see the evolutionary process is run on a PC not the FPGA. The FPGA VHDL code is the end product. Eric
