Abstract
This chapter describes a GA (Genetic Algorithm) hardware engine and its applications to a controller for a hand-prosthesis and a LSI (Large Scale Integration) fabrication process. The GA hardware engine is a hardware implementation of GA operations. Therefore this enables high-speed execution of the GA search as well as their compact implementation.
