ABSTRACT:
Noise and fault tolerant devices made of cellular automata are disclosed. Preferred embodiments include cellular automata with updating rules that set a cell to a first state if more than a threshold number of adjacent cells are in the first state and with output being a state average over all cells; thus updating overcomes noise and fault induced state changes. Embodiments with cells as discrete electronic devices and with cells as quantum wells in a monolithic semiconductor body are disclosed.
