The main objective of this research is the achievement of a new class of systems, with advantageous features compared to conventional ones, such as lower power consumption, higher speed and more robustness to noise. The particular problem of designing the amplifier of an AM receiver is examined in this work. Genetic algorithms are employed as our evolutionary tool and two sets of experiments are described. The first set has been carried out using a single objective, the desired frequency response of the circuit. In a second set of experiments, three other objectives have been included in the system. A new multi-objective evaluation methodology was conceived for this second set of experiments. A second approach for evolving active filters, using programmable chips, is also discussed in this paper.","PeriodicalId":234639,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the First NASA/DoD Workshop on Evolvable Hardware","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130757076","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper discusses the design concept of a distributed, diversified self-testing and self-repairing computing system that is embedded in an autonomous spacecraft and serves as its agent for automatic maintenance. The attainment of a hundred-year life expectancy is founded on the extensive use of diversity in materials, technologies and design of hardware elements. Diversity of hardware and software designs also provides tolerance of design faults. A hierarchical system structure and a rigorous design paradigm for the fault-tolerance defenses also support the goals of autonomy and long system lifetime.","PeriodicalId":234639,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the First NASA/DoD Workshop on Evolvable Hardware","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125335886","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A PTA chip was built in CMOS to allow circuits obtained through evolutionary design using a simulated PTA to be immediately deployed and validated in hardware and, moreover, enables a benchmarking and comparison of evolutions carried out via simulations only (extrinsic evolution) with the chip-in-the-loop (intrinsic) evolutions. The evolution of an analog computational circuit and a logical inverter are presented. Synthesis by software evolution found several potential solutions satisfying the a priori constraints, however, only a fraction of these proved valid when ported to the hardware. The circuits evolved directly in hardware proved stable when ported to different chips. In either case, both software and hardware experiments indicate that evolution can be accelerated when gray-scale (as opposed to binary switches) were used to define circuit connectivity. Overall, only evolution directly in hardware appears to guarantee a valid solution.","PeriodicalId":234639,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the First NASA/DoD Workshop on Evolvable Hardware","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125520512","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The gate arrays possess some linear properties, which means that they are capable of filtering composite signals which have not been encountered in training.

In our approach, learning takes place on the level of constraint acquisition and functional decomposition rather than on the lower level of programming binary switches. Our learning strategy is based on the principle of Occam's Razor, facilitating generalization and discovery.

The design and optimization of such devices requires a fundamental understanding of electron transport in such dimensions. The nanoelectronic modeling tool (NEMO) is a general-purpose quantum device design and analysis tool based on a fundamental non-equilibrium electron transport theory. NEMO was combined with a parallelized genetic algorithm package (PGAPACK) to evolve structural and material parameters to match a desired set of experimental data. A numerical experiment that evolves structural variations such as layer widths and doping concentrations is performed to analyze an experimental current voltage characteristic. The genetic algorithm is found to drive the NEMO simulation parameters close to the experimentally prescribed layer thicknesses and doping profiles. With such a quantitative agreement between theory and experiment design synthesis can be performed.","PeriodicalId":234639,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the First NASA/DoD Workshop on Evolvable Hardware","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129204413","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
