This paper presents a novel evolvable hardware framework for the automated design of digital circuits for high performance applications. The technique evolves circuits correspondi...
Today’s complex production systems allow to simultaneously build different products following individual production plans. Such plans may fail due to component faults or unfores...
IP problems characterise combinatorial optimisation problems where conventional numerical methods based on the hill-climbing technique can not be directly applied. Conventional me...
Gate sizing in VLSI design is a widely-used method for power or area recovery subject to timing constraints. Several previous works have proposed gate sizing heuristics for power ...
A powerful approach to search is to try to learn a distribution of good solutions (in particular of the dependencies between their variables) and use this distribution as a basis ...
