Out of curiosity has anyone ever attempted to prototype a hardware block based on evolution principles? Doing it on an fpga is probably a bad idea since we wont be able to implement the results in more copies but this could potentially also happen in a software simulation where the input and output interfaces of the hardware block are pre defined

yeah.

at the expense of power consumption.If you're trying to trans-code something that you don't have a co-processor/module for you're forced to CPU/GPU trans-coding. Would a FPGA still be more power huns gry then?I think/hope FPGA's are more efficient for specific tasks then CPU/GPU'sWe can always have evolution create a efficient decoder ;-)
