The Role of Simulation During Design of Evolvable Systems
evolvable hardware, simulation, reconfigurable device
The simulated evolution and reconfigurable hardware are the main features of the evolvable hardware based applications. The decision, whether evolvable hardware is the best alternative solution for the given application, is the most important task of the design process. Modelling and simulations help to do such decision. At the first phase, simulations are used to find optimal genetic operators, optimal encoding of the connection into the bit string and optimal hardware structure. VHDL is used for modelling of evolvable hardware during the second phase, where the target architecture is chosen. These two phases don't differ in their goals only, but especially in used levels of abstraction and associated design tools. This paper presents simulations as the key point of design process of the fast reconfigurable chip for pixel prediction.
