Summary :

This paper presents a new approach to designing arithmetic circuits by using a graph-based evolutionary optimization technique called Evolutionary Graph Generation (EGG). The key idea of the proposed method is to introduce a higher level of abstraction for arithmetic algorithms, in which arithmetic circuit structures are modeled as data-flow graphs associated with specific number representation systems. The EGG system employs evolutionary operations to transform the structure of graphs directly, which makes it possible to generate the desired circuit structure efficiently. The potential capability of EGG is demonstrated through an experiment of generating constant-coefficient multipliers.
