Abstract :
Inspired by the basic processes of molecular biology, our previous studies resulted in defining self-testing and self-organizing mechanisms made up of simple processes. The goal of our paper is to introduce a configurable molecule able to implement these bio-inspired mechanisms as well as their underlying processes. The hardware description of the molecule leads to the simulation of a multiplier designed as a one-dimensional organism dedicated to bit slice processors.
