Its major feature is a high performance, achieving a constant processing time for each transition. Our approach is based on representing all possible applications as words of some regular context-free language. Then, using formal power series it is possible to obtain the number of possibilities and select one of them following a uniform distribution, in a fair and non-deterministic way. According to these ideas, we yield an implementation whose results show an important speed-up, with a strong independence from the size of the P system.application/pdfengAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacionalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Reconfigurable hardwareP systemsStatic P systemsFPGAMembrane computingParallel implementations of membrane computingSimulator of membrane computingHardware implementations of membrane computingParallel implementations of static P systemsSimulator of static P systemsinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
