演化硬件及其进展

Evolutionary Hardware and Its Development

回顾了演化硬件的历史渊源，并讨论了演化硬件涉及的主要问题，包括作为其物质基础的大规模可编程逻辑器件和应用于其上的演化算法，以及具体实现时的设计思路等．最后本文扼要介绍了演化硬件的研究及应用现状和进一步的工作．

The highly colligation of the Evolutionary Computation and the Engineering Science has been generating many new potential crossing subject,and the Evolutionary Hardware(EHW) is one of them. The Programmable Logic Array works as it's material basis,while the Evolutionary Algorithm supplys a feasible and practical method for it's implementation.This article looks back into the history of EHW and discusses major issues including Programmable Logic Devices, the Evolutionary Algorithm applying to them and implementation details.At the end of this article,we introduce the current work in this field and the work in future.
