Abstract :
Future nanoscale technology might drive a migration to different information-processing and computing approaches. One such possibility is the class of digital cellular automata. The recent emergence of multicore architectures, driven by semiconductor technology constraints, motivates the investigation of cellular automata architectures as information-processing alternatives.
