Fig. 2.2. Several different images obtained with the same “decompression” software
starting from different sets of cell parameters. The compression rate achieved is of the order
of thousands since each image is defined by only 17 parameters (depicted above)
2.3 Hardware Platforms for Implementing Cellular
Computers
Cellular computers are particularly attractive for hardware implementation because
is only in hardware where their full computational power come to a life. More-
over, since they are interconnected arrays of regular cells they are simple to
implement starting from the design of cell, which is multiplied as needed. The
designer of a cellular system focuses on cell-design while interconnection often
