Introduction to RIMEP2: A Multi-Expression Programming System for the Design of Reversible Digital Circuits
Quantum computers are considered as a future alternative to circumvent the
heat dissipation problem of VLSI circuits. The synthesis of reversible circuits
is a very promising area of study considering the expected further
technological advances towards quantum computing. In this report, we propose a
linear genetic programming system to design reversible circuits -RIMEP2-. The
system has evolved reversible circuits starting from scratch without resorting
to a pre-existing library. The results show that among the 26 considered
benchmarks, RIMEP2 outperformed the best published solutions for 20 of them and
matched the remaining 6. RIMEP2 is presented in this report as a promising
method with a considerable potential for reversible circuit design. It will be
considered as work reference for future studies based on this method.Comment: 17 text pages, 8 Figures, Research Report, Contact author:
