Smoothing Problem in 2D Images with Tissue-like P Systems and Parallel Implementation

Smoothing is often used in Digital Imagery to reduce noise within an image. In this paper we present a Membrane Computing algorithm for smoothing 2D images in the framework of tissue-like P systems. The algorithm has been implemented by using a novel device architecture called CUDATM, (Compute Unified Device Architecture). We present some examples, compare the obtained time and present some research lines for the future.
