A Self-scaling Instruction Generator Using Cartesian Genetic Programming

In the past decades, a number of genetic programming techniques have been developed to evolve machine instructions. However, these approaches typically suffer from a lack of scalability that seriously impairs their applicability to real-world scenarios. In this paper, a novel self-scaling instruction generation method is introduced, which tries to overcome the scalability issue by using Cartesian Genetic Programming. In the proposed method, a dual-layer network architecture is created: one layer is used to evolve a series of instructions while the other is dedicated to the generation of loop control parameters.
