Super Virus Machines: Faster Virus Transmission, More Efficiency Using Superchannels

Abstract

Surpassing the classical computing architecture is one of the great challenges of computer science today. The branch that approaches it from a theoretical point of view, inspired by nature, is called natural computation. Within this field, a paradigm arises, called virus machines (VMs), inspired by the propagation and replication of the biological structure of viruses. This work introduces a novel extension to the young computing paradigm of VMs, the super VMs. This extension can develop models with a new kind of channel called superchannel. In addition, several VMs are constructed to generate natural number sets and compute basic arithmetic functions, improving the basic VMs in both time and memory cost (such as hosts and instructions).
