Simulador de alta velocidade em FPGA de circuitos LUT de lógica combinacional de topologia arbitrária para algoritmos evolucionários

Abstract

This work presents an architecture for simulation of combinational logic circuits of arbitrary topology, meant to be interfaced with evolutionary algorithms for hardware generation. It was implemented in FPGA using the VRC technique. The simulator allows for circuits composed of LUTs of parametrizable number of imputs. The free interconectivity between LUTs allows the construction of cyclic circuits. The architecture is modular and of simple interfacing. High performance is obtained by the use of multiple simulation modules in parallel, bringing results that surpass the ones obtained from other works based on DPR.
