In this paper we study the technology mapping problem for FPGA architectures to minimize chip area, or the total number of lookup tables (LUTs) of the mapped design, under the chi...
The Learnable Evolution Model (LEM) involves alternating periods of optimization and learning, performa extremely well on a range of problems, a specialises in achieveing good resu...
When an evolutionary algorithm addresses a sequence of instances of the same problem, it can seed its population with solutions that it found for previous instances. This techniqu...
