Abstract

An intrinsic evolvable hardware platform was realized to accelerate the evolutionary search process of a biologically inspired developmental model targeted at off-shelf FPGA implementation. The model has the capability of exhibiting very large transient fault-tolerance. The evolved circuits make up a digital "organism" from identical cells which only differ in internal states. Organisms implementing a 2-bit multiplier were evolved that can "recover" from almost any kinds of transient faults. This paper focuses on the design concerns and details of the evolvable hardware system, including the digital organism/cell and the intrinsic FPGA-based evolvable hardware platform.
