Abstract

In this paper, a new hardware architecture for the acceleration of symbolic regression problems using Cartesian Genetic Programming (CGP) is presented. In order to minimize the number of expensive memory accesses, a new algorithm is proposed. The search algorithm is implemented using PowerPC processor which is available in Xilinx FPGAs of Virtex family. A significant speedup of evolution is obtained in comparison with a highly optimized software implementation of CGP.
