Circuit Approximation Using Single- and Multi-Objective Cartesian GP
approximate circuit, Cartesian genetic programming, design method, multiobjective optimization
In this paper, the approximate circuit design problem is formulated as a multi-objective optimization problem in which the accuracy and power consumption are conflicting design objectives. We compare multi-objective and single-objective Cartesian genetic programming in the task of parallel adder and multiplier approximation. It is analyzed how the setting of the methods, formulating the problem as multi-objective or single-objective, and constraining the execution time can influence the quality of results. One of the conclusions is that the multi-objective approach is useful if the number of allowed evaluations is low. When more time is available, the single-objective approach becomes more efficient.
