A new computational paradigm is emerging for spatio-temporal problems: analogic CNN array-computing. The elementary instructions and programming techniques, however, are drastically different from any other computers. These elementary instructions represent complex, spatio-temporal, nonlinear, dynamic phenomena including all the standard and exotic properties of simple image processing operators as well as waves, patterns, and "evolving systems". Meanwhile, a computational infrastructure has also emerged interfacing this revolutionary computing technology to digital systems as well as enabling the development of high-level software. The main goal was to provide easy-to-use tools and hardware interfacing elements, and to put most of the sophistication in the chips and chip sets.
