Accelerated and Highly Correlated ASIC Synthesis of AI Hardware Subsystems Using CGP

Algorithm 1

(μ + λ) evolutionary strategy.

forall i such that 0 ≤ i < (λ + 1) do

  Randomly generate individual i

end

Select μ individuals, that are promoted as the parents.

while the generation limit is not reached do

  forall i such that 0 ≤ i < λ do

   Mutate the μ parents based on the mutation scheme to generate λ offsprings

  end

  Generate the fittest individual using the following rules:

  if an offspring genotype ranks better in a selection scheme then

   Offspring genotype is chosen as fittest

  else

   The parent chromosome remains the fittest

  end
