Further Information

In reaction-diffusion (RD) processors, both the data and the results of the computation are encoded as concentration profiles of the reagents. The computation is performed via the spreading and interaction of wave fronts. Most prototypes of RD computers are specialized to solve certain problems, they can not be, in general, re-programmed In the paper, we try to show possible means of overcoming this drawback. We envisage an architecture and interface of programmable RD media capable of solving a wide range of problems.
