CAM-8: A Computer Architecture Based on Cellular Automata
arXiv:comp-gas/9509001
Abstract
Conventional computers are ill suited to run CA models, and so discourage their development. By creating a hardware platform that makes a broad range of new CA algorithms practical for real applications, we hope to whet the appetite of researchers for the astronomical computing power that can be harnessed in microphysics in a CA format.
