Abstract
This paper presents the application of Intrinsic Evolvable Hardware to real-world combinational circuit synthesis, as an alternative to conventional approaches. The evolutionary technique employs Cartesian Genetic Programming at a functional level by devising compact evolutionary processing elements and an external genetic reconfiguration unit. The experimental results conclude that in terms of computational effort, filtered image signal and implementation cost, the evolution outperforms convention approaches in most cases.
