Abstract :
In this paper we shall present a reconfigurable architecture that has been specifically conceived for emulating large-scale bio-inspired systems. The architecture is organized as a regular array of programmable elements that can be used either as fine grain logic elements or configured in order to construct massively parallel SIMD (single instruction multiple data) machines. As it will be explained, the specific features that have been included in the architecture permit the efficient implementation of a wide range of complex systems.
