This paper examines a range of techniques for the design, implementation, and verification of a serial Cellular Automata Machine. Three different approaches for the design of the Serial Parallel Extendible Scalable Cellular Automata Machine are examined including a high-level description using the formal specificationlanguage CSP, an intermediate behavioral-level design in VHDL, and a detailed logic-level design using Logic 111.A comparison of the three approaches is provided based on the following criteria: speed, size, assurance, and the ease and flexibility of design.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
