  We develop an accelerated Genetic Algorithm (GA) system constructed by the
cooperation of field-programmable gate array (FPGA) and optimized parameters of
the GA. We found the enhanced decay of mutation rate makes convergence of the
GA much faster, enabling the parameter-induced acceleration of the GA.
Furthermore, the accelerated configuration of the GA is programmed in FPGA to
boost processing speed at the hardware level without external computation
devices. This system has ability to focus light through scattering medium
within 4 seconds with robust noise resistance and stable repetition
performance, which could be further reduced to millisecond level with advanced
board configuration. This study solves the long-term limitation of the GA, it
promotes the applications of the GA in dynamic scattering mediums, with the
capability to tackle wavefront shaping in biological material.
