  • Abstract
    In this paper, we present a framework that supports experimenting with evolutionary hardware design. We describe the framework´s modules for composing evolutionary optimizers and for setting up, controlling, and analyzing experiments. Two case studies demonstrate the usefulness of the framework: evolution of hash functions and evolution based on pre-engineered circuits.
