Prospects for a Special-Purpose Lattice Gas Computer
Alvin M. Despain, Claire Ellen Max · 1990
Abstract : The feasibility is presented of designing and building a large special-purpose computer dedicated to lattice-gas cellular automata. The primary emphasis was on applications of cellular automata for modeling Navier-Stokes hydrodynamics. The meeting had two goals: (1) To identify those theoretical issues which would have to be addressed before the hardware implementation of a lattice-gas machine would be possible; and (2) To begin to evaluate alternative architectures for a dedicated lattice-gas computer.
