Suitability of Using Self-Organizing Neural Networks in Configuring P-System Communications Architectures

Abstract

Abstract. Nowadays, it is possible to find out different viable architectures that implements P Systems in a distributed cluster of processors. These proposed architectures have reached a certain compromise between the massively parallelism character of the system and the evolution step times. They are based in the distribution of several membranes in each processor, the use of proxies to control the communication between membranes and mainly, the suitable distribution of the architecture in a balanced tree of processors. For a given P-system and K processors, there exists a great volume of possible distributions of membranes over these. The main disadvantage related with these architectures is focused in the selection of the distribution of membranes that minimizes the external communications between them and maximizes the parallelism grade. In this paper, we suggest the use of Self-Organizing Neural Networks (SONN) with growing capability to help in this selection process for a given P-system.
