There is the evolutionary approach taken by Thompson.[1] There were some spectacular results; though each circuit only worked on the exact FPGA that it was trained on - so that particular approach has no practical applications.

- bayesian_horse 10y agoI don't actually believe this is true. I find that paper fascinating, and I believe today you could just simulate the hardware definition, rather than work straight on the bitstream and evaluate it in hardware. I also believe that today's FPGAs are more robust against these kinds of bugs. Because, even with some HDL code, these defects or cross-talk incidents could result in difficult to debug errors.
