• abstract = "The Programmable Analogue and Digital Array (PAnDA) is a novel reconfigurable architecture, which allows variability aware design and rapid prototyping of digital systems. Exploiting the configuration options of the architecture allows the post-fabrication correction and optimisation of circuits directly in hardware using bio-inspired techniques. In order to reduce the overhead of extra configuration memory and area consumption, a portion of the configuration memory required to configure the logic functionality of the Configurable Analogue Blocks (CABs) in the PAnDA architecture is replaced by Function Configuration Decoders (FCDs). In the past, bio-inspired approaches based on Cartesian Genetic Programming have been demonstrated as a suitable method for designing such circuit topologies. As the area of the FCDs is a primary concern, in addition to performance, a form of CGP which uses a multi-objective strategy (MOCGP) is used to evolve FCD designs for the two types of CAB present in the PAnDA architecture. The results show that MOCGP is capable of evolving and optimising FCDs that are optimal for area and performance for both CABs. A PAnDA prototype chip containing FCDs is currently being fabricated. Also, when compared with designs produced by a commercial synthesis tool, the MO-CGP designs are smaller, faster, and more power efficient.",
