• abstract = "This paper analyses the effect of using different random number generators (RNG) in a hardware implementation of Genetic Programming using Field Programmable Gate Arrays. Hardware systems have typically used RNGs based on Logical Feedback Shift Registers or Cellular Automata. Different configurations of these generators are evaluated as well as using a source of true random numbers and a standard multiply/add generator. We show that using a more sophisticated generator than a simple LFSR slightly improves the performance of the hardware GP system.",
