An architecture design for evolvable computer

Abstract

In recent years, there has been a remarkable growth of the portable computing devices market. To develop and design a scalable, programmable architecture that can be dynamically reconfigured during program execution to a new circuit structure is a key design goal for self-reconfigurable computing systems. In this paper we proposes a new architecture of evolvable computer, this architecture consists of a general-purpose processor, a reconfigurable component (programmable array) and a evolutionary algorithms processor (DSP), and describe the work mechanism of the evolvable computer in detail. © 2008 Springer Berlin Heidelberg.
