The relentless push for high performance in custom digital circuits has led to renewed emphasis on circuit optimization or tuning. The parameters of the optimization are typically...
To excite a stuck-open fault in a CMOS combinational circuit, it is only necessary that the output of the gate containing the fault takes on opposite values during the application...
Evolvable Hardware (EHW) is a new method for designing electronic circuits. However, there are several problems to solve for making high performance systems. One is the limited sca...
Evolvable Hardware (EHW) has been proposed as a new technique to design complex systems. Often, complex systems turn out to be very difficult to evolve. The problem is that a gen...
This paper describes a multi-objective Evolutionary Algorithm (EA) system for the synthesis of efficient non-linear VLSI circuit modules. The EA takes the specification for a no...
