After testing the initial population, the genetic algorithm killed off
the least fit individuals by deleting them and let the most fit
produce copies of themselves–offspring. It mated some individuals,
swapping sections of their code. Finally, the algorithm introduced a
small number of mutations by randomly switching 1s and 0s within
individual programs. It then downloaded the new population one at a
time onto the FPGA and ran the fitness tests once more.

Sehr spannender Versuch. Die Zukunft der Informationstechnologie? Oder das Ende der Menschheit?
