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 ...

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 ...

Abstract: Graph neural cellular automata are a recently introduced class of computational models that extend neural cellular automata to arbitrary graphs. They are promising in various applications ...
