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.
