Abstract :
CA are useful tools in modeling and simulation. However, the more complex a CA is, the longer it takes to run in typical environments. A dedicated CA machine solves this problem by allowing all cells to be computed in parallel. In this paper we present simple yet useful hardware that can perform the required computations in constant time complexity, O(l).
