What will it compute?
- Computational geometry: plane tessellation, concave and convex hull
- Image processing: contouring, filtering, erosion, dilation
- Graph-theoretic: proximity graphs, spanning trees, triangulations
- Arithmetics: binary arithmetic circuits
- Logics: universal logical circuits
- General purpose computing: storage modification machines (Kolmogorov and Schoenhage machines)
