Embryonics: Artificial Cells Driven by Artificial DNA

Abstract. Embryonics is a long-term research project attempting to draw inspiration from the biological process of ontogeny, to implement novel digital computing machines endowed with better fault-tolerant capabilities. For this purpose FPGAs are extremely useful. However, through this project we designed MuxTree, a new coarse-grained FPGA, to implement our embryonic machines. This article focuses on the issues posed by the memory storage and the advances made to achieve more robust memory structures. Motto. “The nature of an identity lies in its essence.” Aristotle
