Collision-based Computing

Résumé

Collision-based computing is an implementation of logical circuits, mathematical machines or other computing and information processing devices in homogeneous uniform unstructured media with traveling mobile localizations. A quanta of information is represented by a compact propagating pattern (glider in cellular automata, soliton in optical system, wave-fragment in excitable chemical system). Logical truth corresponds to presence of the localization, logical false to absence of the localization; logical values can be also represented by a particular state of the localization. When two more or more traveling localizations collide they change their velocity vectors and/or states. Post-collision trajectories and/or states of the localizations represent results of a logical operations implemented by the collision. One of the principle advantages of the a collision-based computing medium —hidden in 1D systems but obvious in 2D and 3D media— is that the medium is architecture-less: nothing is hardwired, there are no stationary wires or gates, a trajectory of a propagating information quanta can be see as a momentary wire. We introduce basics of collision-based computing, and overview the collision-based computing schemes in 1D and 2D cellular automata and continuous excitable media. Also we provide an overview of collision-based schemes where particles/collisions are dimensionless.
