Abstract

A microprocessor with genetic instructions such as crossover, mutation and inversion is proposed. The processor is modeled using VHDL, synthesized to a schematic and implemented on a FPGA. The control path is implemented with a microprogram consisting of about 15032-bit microwords, and the operation of each instruction is checked through simulation.
