Abstract

We continue the study of the efficiency of distributed P automata initialized in (Gh. Păun, and M. J. Pérez-Jiménez, Solving problems in a distributed way in membrane computing: dP systems, International Journal of Computing, Communication and Control. V(2), 238-250, (2010)). A language accepted by a P automaton is efficiently parallelizable if there exists a distributed P automaton which accepts the same language and its computations only take some fraction of the computing time of the non-distributed variant. We examine how one of the features of P automata, namely the choice of the mapping which maps the sequence of multisets imported by the system to the symbols of the alphabet of the accepted language, influences the efficient parallelizability of the accepted languages.
