The previously established ExaCA software for performance portable alloy grain structure simulation has been updated to better represent the solidification behavior during complex alloy processing ...

In cellular automata, simple rules create elaborate structures. Now researchers can start with the structures and reverse-engineer the rules. Alexander Mordvintsev showed me two clumps of pixels on ...

Cellular automata are discrete, lattice-based models in which simple local interactions give rise to intricate global behaviour. As a cornerstone of dynamical systems theory, these models have been ...

Researchers and enthusiasts have been fascinated by the challenge of reverse-engineering complex behaviors that emerge from simple rules in cellular automata for decades. Traditionally, this field ...

A cellular automaton is a discrete model of computation studied in automata theory. It consists of a regular grid of cells, each in one of a finite number of states; a new generation is created ...

Joshua has been playing video games for as long as he can remember. He's currently playing just about any and every new AAA story-based game. In his free time, he enjoys buying, building, painting, ...

Utterly obsessed with gaming, anime, and manga for the past 25 years, Carley attended Florida State University, graduating with a degree in Japanese in 2012. A professional Japanese/English translator ...

Functional programming, as the name implies, is about functions. While functions are part of just about every programming paradigm, including JavaScript, a functional programmer has unique ...

One of the main challenges in cellular automata (CA) systems, particularly in Conway’s Game of Life (Life), lies in predicting their emergent behavior without explicitly knowing the underlying grid ...
