Abstract

In this chapter, we describe a scheme to realize an Evolvable Fuzzy Hardware (EFH) for real-time Packet Switching problem. The common challenges of Evolvable hardware (EHW) implementation are issues pertaining to online adaptation, scalability and termination of evolution [I]. The proposed EFH addresses these issues effectively. A very interesting advantage of the proposed EFH is that the system performance can be tuned intuitively through parametric adjustment of the fitness function. This advantage gives the EFH system a very special property that conventional scheduling methods cannot fulfill easily. For the hardware implementation of the EFH, real-time fuzzy inference with high-speed context switching capability is necessary. We address this aspect through implementation based on a context independent reconfigurable fuzz9 inference chip (RFIC).
