Cellular wave computers for nano-tera-scale technology—beyond Boolean, spatial-temporal logic in million processor devices
T. Roska · Electronics Letters · 2007
Cellular wave computer architecture as a spatial-temporal universal machine on flows reflects (i) the prophecies of Turing and von Neumann, (ii) physical constraints of nano-scale technology, (iii) typical constructs in neural organisation and mechanisms, and (iv) provides for a new way of algorithmic and hardware–software framework, already implemented in some new products, including visual microprocessors. A few aspects of this new kind of computer and computing are highlighted, including the ‘function in layout’ principle, the biological relevance in retinal modelling, and the new type of spatial-temporal algorithmic thinking beyond Boolean logic.
