Cellular Automata Algorithms for String Sorting and Integer Multiplication According to the Atrubin Scheme

Resumo

Being unavailable in the literature for the past few recent decades, the cellular automata formulations of some algorithms for sorting character and string arrays are considered here. A cellular automaton multiplying two integers written in a numeral system with an arbitrary basis is proposed for the first time. The algorithm is based on the Atrubin parallel multiplication scheme for a systolic array of processors and requires four components (registers) instead of five.
