Simulation of biological molecular systems or studies on self- organization are most suitably studied in spatially extended environments. The study of evolutionary systems, be they optimization problems, chemical reactions or selfreferential systems, has a strong need for computational power. Configurable electronic hardware provides this power and has the additional advantage of restricting the modeling space to the essential minimum. Models working in silicon can be translated very easily into molecular or chemical systems. This poster reports on the successor of the reconfigurable massively parallel machine NGEN and the dynamic reconfigur- able evolvable hardware POLYP.
