This novel implementation uses a high level language to hardware compilation system, called Handel-C, to produce a Field Programmable Logic Array capable of performing all the functions required of a Genetic Programming System. Two simple test problems demonstrate that GP running on a Field Programmable Gate Array can outperform a software version of the same algorithm by exploiting the intrinsic parallelism available using hardware, and the geometric parallelisation of Genetic Programming.
