Abstract

This paper describes ongoing work involving the use of the Xilinx XC6216 rapidly reconfigurable field-programmable gate array to evolve sorting networks using genetic programming. We successfully evolved a network for sorting seven items that employs two fewer steps than the sorting network described in a l962 patent and that has the same number of steps as the seven-sorter devised by Floyd and Knuth subsequent to the patent.
