An Approach to Highly Integrated, Computer-Maintained Cellular Arrays

Configuration of VLSI Arrays in the Presence of Defects

“…Previous schemes for connecting various configurations in faulty arrays include those of Manning [20], Aubusson and Catt [1], Koren [15], Fussell and Varman [7], Hedlund and Snyder [13], Lincoln Laboratory [17], and Lowry and Miller [18]. In most cases the schemes are studied empirically, but little analysis is provided.…”

Additive Cellular Automata

“…References [4,6,8,9] provide a general background in the use of cellular automata in modeling, as well as a number of examples. Specific exemplary cases of applications are found in [10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48,49,50,51,52,53,54,55,56,…”

“…Among other things, cellular automata have been used to model growth and aggregation processes [9,10,11,12]; discrete reaction-diffusion systems [13,14,15,16,17]; spin exchange systems [18,19]; biological pattern formation [20,21]; disease processes and transmission [22,23,24,25,26]; DNA sequences, and gene interactions [27,28]; spiral galaxies [29]; social interaction networks [30]; and forest fires [31,32]. They have been used for language and pattern recognition [33,34,35,36,37,38,39]; image processing [40,41]; as parallel computers [42,43,44,45,46,47]; parallel multipliers [48]; sorters [49]; and prime number sieves [50]. In recent years, cellular automata have become important for VLSI logic circuit design [51].…”

Cellular Automata—Theory and Applications

“…In the early 70's CA has been proposed as parallel processing computers [15,16]. It has been used a highly parallel multipliers [17,18], sorters [19] and prime number sieves [20].…”
