Cellular automata (CA) are discrete, spatially extended dynamical systems in which simple, local update rules give rise to complex global patterns. Each automaton consists of a lattice of cells, each ...

The previously established ExaCA software for performance portable alloy grain structure simulation has been updated to better represent the solidification behavior during complex alloy processing ...

In cellular automata, simple rules create elaborate structures. Now researchers can start with the structures and reverse-engineer the rules. Alexander Mordvintsev showed me two clumps of pixels on ...

A cellular automaton is a discrete model of computation studied in automata theory. It consists of a regular grid of cells, each in one of a finite number of states; a new generation is created ...

Functional programming, as the name implies, is about functions. While functions are part of just about every programming paradigm, including JavaScript, a functional programmer has unique ...

Abstract: This work is focused on the transparent execution of Cellular Automata models on a multi-GPU architecture. Although Cellular Automata models can be easily parallelized on a single GPU, the ...

Jared is a writer, editor, and Communications Studies graduate who loves popular nerd culture (almost anything to do with Marvel, DC, Star Wars, or The Lord of the Rings) and the interactive ...
