In 1994, a strange, pixelated machine came to life on a computer screen. It read a string of instructions, copied them, and ...

Pasquale Corsonello received his Mastersdegree in Electronics Engineering from the University of Naples,Italy, in 1988. He joined the Institute of Research on ParallelComputer System (IRSIP) of ...

We covered work with a superthin computer just two molecules thick can solve complex problems and, somewhat like the human brain, can evolve to improve and perform many operations simultaneously. This ...

Micron Technology appeared at the 2013 Supercomputing conference, where it claimed the development of a massively parallel architecture built around its memory technology could provide a huge speed ...

It’s been more than ten years now since the idea emerged of using chaos to encrypt messages. The approach is straightforward. Start with a message, superimpose it on a chaotic signal and send. If the ...

A probabilistic cellular automaton (PCA) can be viewed as a Markov chain. The cells are updated synchronously and independently, according to a distribution depending on a finite neighborhood. We ...

Might treating binary numbers as cellular automata be helpful for the design and implementation of a digital binary counter? As most readers already know, counting in binary is similar to counting in ...

A state machine that consists of an array of cells, each of which can be in one of a finite number of possible states. The cells are updated synchronously in discrete time steps, according to a local, ...

Well all know cellular automata from Conway’s Game of Life which simulates cellular evolution using rules based on the state of all eight adjacent cells. [Gavin] has been having fun playing with ...
