Abstract

This paper proposes a novel CACM (Cellular Automata Calculation Model), which has two advantages: the high controllability and the parallelism of computing. The former advantage means that: the transformation rules of every cell and a cell at different time can be different. And the latter guarantees that it is possible to construct a large-scale CA efficiently, for the reason that the CA is computed in parallel. The computing platform is TOC (Ternary Optical Computer) and the algorithm is superposition in dislocation, which are both the bases of the CACM. Using the CACM, it is valid to construct more complicated and powerful CA.
