A guided tour of asynchronous cellular automata

Research on asynchronous cellular automata has received a great amount of attention these last years and has turned to a thriving field. We survey the recent research that has been carried out on this topic and present a wide state of the art where computing and modelling issues are both represented.Comment: To appear in the Journal of Cellular Automat

Langmuir-Hinshelwood mechanism implemented in FPGA

El uso de métodos numéricos como el modelo Montecarlo posibilita el desarrollo de software para simular procesos catalíticos heterogéneos en sistemas secuenciales o arquitecturas basadas en multiprocesamiento. El objetivo de este trabajo es desarrollar una propuesta de implementación en dispositivos lógicos FPGA como alternativa a la simulación de procesos catalíticos en forma paralela. Mediante el uso de la implementación intencionada, se obtiene el desarrollo de los procesos en paralelo del mecanismo de Langmuir-Hinshelwood en una plataforma hardware FPGA.The use of numerical methods such as the Montecarlo model make possible development software for simulate heterogeneous catalytics processes in secuencial systems or multiprocessing-based architectures. The objective of this work is to develop an implementation proposal in FPGA logic devices as an alternative of the simulation for processes catalytics in a parallel way. By using purposed implementation, it is obtained the development of the processes in parallel of the mechanism of Langmuir-Hinshelwood in a FPGA hardware platform.Q3Grupo de Investigación en Ingeniería Aplicada (GUIAS
