Description

This paper proposes a system that obtains hardware (especially LSI) behavior specification with using an evolutionary process, towards the evolutional framework and computational mechanisms of hardware evolution which adaptively changes its structure according to the environment. In the proposed system, the hardware specification is described with a Hardware Description Language (HDL) and the description is obtained through evolutionary methods. Also, evolutionary computation and methods make it possible to design hardwares that act in an unknown and unpredictable environment without explicit design knowledge. In order to evolve HDL description that is regulated by its grammar, Production Genetic Algorithms is introduced which enables evolutionary operations based on the grammar and operates the development process of HDL programs. Finally, experimental results shows that through an evolutionary process based on the PGAs, a hardware specification program expands its circuit scale and as a result its functionality.
