Evolutionary Design Method of Multipliers Using Development
Kaplan, Tomáš ; Jaroš, Jiří (referee) ; Bidlo, Michal (advisor)
This work is focused on the techniques for overcoming the problem of scale in the evolutionary design of the combinational multipliers. The approaches to the evolutionary design that work directly with the target solutions are not suitable for the design of the large-scale structures. An approach based on the biological principles of development has often been utilized as a non-trivial genotypephenotype mapping in the evolutionary algorithms that allows us to design scalable structures. The instruction-based developmental approach has been applied to the evolutionary design of generic circuit structures. In this work, three methods are presented for the construction of the combinational multipliers which use a ripple-carry adder for obtaining the final product.

Modularity in the Evolutionary Design
Klemšová, Jarmila ; Bidlo, Michal (referee) ; Vašíček, Zdeněk (advisor)
The diploma thesis deals with the evolutionary algorithms and their application in the area of digital circuit design. In the first part, general principles of evolutionary algorithms are introduced. This part includes also the introduction of genetic algorithms and genetic programming. The next chapter describes the cartesian genetic programming and its modifications like embedded, self-modifying or multi-chromosome cartessian genetic programming. Essential part of this work consists of the design and implementation of a modularization technique for evolution circuit design. The proposed approach is evaluated using a set of standard benchmark circuits.

Evolutionary Circuit Design at the Transistor Level
Žaloudek, Luděk ; Vašíček, Zdeněk (referee) ; Sekanina, Lukáš (advisor)
This project deals with evolutionary design of electronic circuits with an emphasis on digital circuits. It describes the theoretical basics for the evolutionary design of circuits on computer systems, including the explanation of Genetic Programming and Evolutionary Strategies, possible design levels of electronic circuits, CMOS technology overview, also the overview of the most important evolutionary circuits design methods like development and Cartesian Genetic Programming. Next introduced is a new method of digital circuits design on the transistor level, which is based on CGP. Also a design system using this new method is introduced. Finally, the experiments performed with this system are described and evaluated.

Evolutionary Design Using Rewriting Systems
Hýsek, Jiří ; Jaroš, Jiří (referee) ; Bidlo, Michal (advisor)
This work provides an introduction to the evolutionary algorithms and evolutionary design. It also describes disadvantages of direct encoding of a genotype to a phenotype and a method of nontrivial encoding which can solve these problems. We are particularly talking about the problems of the scalability of evolved solutions. We discuss a possible solution of described problem - a nontrivial genotype-phenotype mapping called development. This technique is demonstrated on an evolutionary design of a sequence of rewriting rules which is able to construct arbitrarily large sorting networks.

Evolutionary Design of Collective Communications Accelerated by GPUs
Tyrala, Radek ; Dvořák, Václav (referee) ; Jaroš, Jiří (advisor)
This thesis provides an analysis of the application for evolutionary scheduling of collective communications. It proposes possible ways to accelerate the application using general purpose computing on graphics processing units (GPU). This work offers a theoretical overview of systems on a chip, collective communications scheduling and more detailed description of evolutionary algorithms. Further, the work provides a description of the GPU architecture and its memory hierarchy using the OpenCL memory model. Based on the profiling, the work defines a concept for parallel execution of the fitness function. Furthermore, an estimation of the possible level of acceleration is presented. The process of implementation is described with a closer insight into the optimization process. Another important point consists in comparison of the original CPU-based solution and the massively parallel GPU version. As the final point, the thesis proposes distribution of the computation among different devices supported by OpenCL standard. In the conclusion are discussed further advantages, constraints and possibilities of acceleration using distribution on heterogenous computing systems.

Polymorphic Image Filters
Salajka, Vojtěch ; Vašíček, Zdeněk (referee) ; Sekanina, Lukáš (advisor)
This thesis deals with the polymorphic image filter design. The study includes polymorphic circuits, their theoretical base and practical applications. It further focuses on the cartesian genetic programming that can be used for an evolutionary design of some types of image filters. The thesis continues with the specification of the evolutionary algorithm to be used for the design of the polymorphic image filters. The implementation of the algorithm is described in two versions -- a standard one running only on a CPU and an accelerated one that partially uses the GPU. Several polymorphic image filters are designed by means of the algorithm.

Cellular Automata Design Optimization
Jílek, Tomáš ; Drábek, Vladimír (referee) ; Bidlo, Michal (advisor)
Focus of this master's thesis is on evolutionary design of cellular automata and it's optimalization. There are described Evolutionary algorithms and Cellular automata in first part. Thereafter, one of the new ways of transition function representation and its possible evolutionary design is presented. Name of this method is Conditionally Matching Rules. This is followed by description of realized experiments with detailed results. Finally, success with optimalization for some tasks is presented in last chapter along with discussion.

Genetic Programming for Design of Digital Circuits
Hejtmánek, Michal ; Bidlo, Michal (referee) ; Gajda, Zbyšek (advisor)
The goal of this work was the study of evolutionary algorithms and utilization of them for digital circuit design. Especially, a genetic programming and its different manipulation with building blocks is mentioned in contrast to a genetic algorithm. On the basis of this approach, I created and tested a hybrid method of electronic circuit design. This method uses spread schemes according to the genetic algorithm for the pattern problems witch are solved by the genetic programming. The method is more successful and have faster convergence to a solution in difficult electronic circuits design than a common algorithm of the genetic programming.

Cellular Automaton in Evolutionary Process
Hejč, Michal ; Herrman, Tomáš (referee) ; Bidlo, Michal (advisor)
The aim of this master's theses it to focuse on the usage of genetic algorithms in combination with a technique of biologically inspired development in cellular automata. The principles of the proposed method is described. The main part of this work deals with the design of combinational logic circuits. The genetic algorithm is utilized to design a nonuniform one-dimensional cellular automaton (in particular, the local transition functions) which serves as a circuit generator. Experiments have been conducted to design of basic types of combinational circuits and polymorphic circuits. Finally, the results are presented and compared with the results obtained in the previous work in which a uniform cellular automaton was applied.
