Summary:
In this paper, a processor which realizes the parallel processing of Particle Swarm Optimizer (PSO) is proposed. As the main operations in PSO, there are initialization of particles, calculation of evaluation values, update of the best solution information, update of velocity and position vectors, and so on. In our processor, these operations are executed by parallel circuits. Also, in order to adapt various objective functions, the evaluation values are calculated by software program using a RISC-type processor. Performing the experiments, the results for the evaluation of the circuit scale by logic synthesis and for the measurement of the clock cycles by HDL simulator are shown.
