Abstract

This paper analyses the behavior of a hardware implementation of Genetic Programming using Field Programmable Gate Arrays. Three crossover operators that limit the lengths of programs are analyzed. A truncating operator, a limiting operator that constrains the lengths of both offspring and a limiting operator that only constrains the length of one offspring. The latter has some interesting properties that suggest a new method of limiting code growth in the presence of fitness.
