Abstract

A biologically inspired developmental model targeted at hardware implementation (off-shelf FPGA) is proposed which exhibits extremely robust transient fault-tolerant capability. All cells in this model have identical genotype (physical structures), and only differ in internal states. In a 3x3 cell digital organism, some individuals which implement a 2-bit multiplier were discovered using evolution that have the ability to "recover" themselves from almost any kinds of transient faults. An intrinsic evolvable hardware platform based on FPGA was realized to speed up the evolution process.
