Ant Colony Algorithm for Evolutionary Design of Arithmetic Circuits

Abstract

Absfruct-Evolutionary computation is a niw field of research in which hardware design is pursued by deriving inspiration from biological organisms. This new paradigm is expected to radically change the synthesis procedures in a way that allows discovering ‘novel designs andlor more efficient circuits. In this paper, a multi objective optimization strategy for design of arithmetic circuits based on Ant Colony optimization algorithm is presented. Results are compared with those obtained using other techniques. Index Terms- Logic Design, Evolutionary Computation, Ant Colony Optimization, Multiobjective Optimization, Fuzzy Logic.
