Abstract

The firing squad synchronization problem has been studied extensively for more than forty years, and a rich variety of synchronization algorithms have been proposed. In the present paper, we give a survey on recent developments in firing squad synchronization algorithms for synchronizing large-scale two-dimensional cellular automata. Several new algorithms and their stateefficient implementations are also given.
