Abstract

The project deals with evolvable hardware, i.e. it combines evolutionary
algorithms with reconfigurable hardware. Evolvable hardware enables to design
high-performance and adaptive solutions for such applications in which the
problem specification is unknown in the design time or can vary in time. The
routine design of such applications is in fact impossible in Field Programmable
Gate Arrays (FPGA) nowadays. The goal of the project is to introduce, develop,
and test a methodology for evolvable hardware based application(s) design, which
utilizes common FPGAs. In particular, a design system that will assist the
designer during application design and which will enable to generate the
description of application's software as well as hardware parts (e.g. as IP
macros) will be developed. The methodology will be based on component approach to
evolvable hardware and virtual reconfigurable devices introduced by the proposer.
Adaptive embedded (e.g. multimedia) systems represent typical application domain
of the project. A typical application will be designed using the proposed
methodology.
