Research efforts in Evolvable Hardware allowed to prove how it is possible to adopt a radically alternative approach to the synthesis of hardware circuits by drawing inspiration from natural selection and evolution. In order to move these achievements to a new level, however, we need more sophisticated tools and upport for experimenting with new structures and devices. This paper moves a first step...
Evolvable Hardware (EHW) is an approach to the creation of hardware circuits based on a goal-oriented evolutionary process inspired by natural evolution. This approach allows the exploration of a very large design search space, ideally enabling to find solutions that are better in terms of resource requirements, accuracy or timing performance, with respect to traditional design methods. To exploit...
In this paper, we present Metronome: a framework to enhance commodity operating systems with self-adaptive capabilities. The Metronome framework features two distinct components: Heart Rate Monitor (HRM) and Performance — Aware Fair Scheduler (PAFS). HRM is an active monitoring infrastructure implementing the observe phase of a self — adaptive computing system Observe — Decide — Act (ODA) control...
The recent advances in genomic microarrays design provide the possibility to retrieve hundreds of thousands of significative genetic features from patients at affordable costs. Understanding if non-linear interactions (epistatic relationships) between these features determine or not the arising of complex common multifactorial genetic diseases is a critical task for human geneticists. The algorithms...
The Evolvable Hardware research area has achieved very important progresses in the last two decades. However, it is still quite far from being as revolutionary as depicted in the earlier visionary papers. To have a positive impact on the Embedded Design Automation field, Evolvable Hardware systems should start to deal with more complex problems instances efficiently. This paper describes some interesting...
Since the birth of the Evolvable Hardware (EHW) research field (1993), many FPGA-based evolvable hardware techniques have been devised and proposed to the scientific community. Even if newer EHW systems introduce improvements and new features with respect to the older ones, in most cases they are still based on outdated FPGAs. Thus, they are often limited by the amount of available resources and by...
Multi-FPGA systems (MFS's) represent a promising technology for various applications, such as the implementation of supercomputers and parallel and computational intensive emulation systems. On the other hand, dynamic reconfigurability expands the possibilities of traditional FPGAs by providing them the capability of adapting their functionality while still running to cope with runtime environment...
