Definition of a Configurable Architecture for Implementation of Global Cellular Automaton

摘要

The realisation of Global Cellular Automaton (GCA) using a comparatively high number of communicating finite state machines (FSM) leads to high communication effort. Inside configurable architectures, fixed numbers of FSM and fixed bus widths result in a granularity that makes mapping of larger GCA to these architectures even more difficult. This approach presents a configurable architecture to support mapping of GCA into a single Boolean network to omit increasing communication effort and to receive scalability as well as high efficiency.
