(2016). Building a basic membrane computer. En BWMC 2016 : 14th Brainstorming Week on Membrane Computing : Sevilla, E. T. S. de Ingeniería Informática, February 1-5 (269-280), Sevilla: Fénix.http://hdl.handle.net/11441/50686In this work, we present the building of two well-known membrane com- puters (squares generator and divisor test). Although they are very basic machines they present problems common to every P system (competition, parallel execution of rules, membrane dissolution, etc.) that have to be solved in order to get real emulations for them. The presented designs mimic the systems operation in a realistic way, by achieving both maximum parallelism and non-determinism, and demonstrating for the rst time that a membrane computer can actually be built in silico. Our architectures fully emu- late the membranes behaviour yielding to a performance of one transition per clock cycle, supposing a real physical realization of the mentioned machines.application/pdfengAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacionalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Membrane computingP systemdigital circuit designparallel computingrecon gurable hardwareFPGAinfo:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceObjectinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
