A mathematical model of computation. Named after English scientist Alan Turing, a Turing machine is a finite state machine that reads a tape divided into cells. The Turing machine examines the symbol ...

One of the problems with a classic Turing machine is the tape must be infinitely long. [Mark’s] Turing Ring still doesn’t have an infinite tape, but it does make it circular to save space. That along ...

Alex Smith, a 20-year-old British engineering student, has proved that a Turing machine proposed by complexity guru Stephen Wolfram is in fact the simplest possible computer capable of solving every ...

CNC Software’s MasterCAM Swiss Expert allows programmers greater freedom to access the variety of five-axis capabilities now available in Swiss turning machines. The development of CNC machines is ...

As someone who writes software for a living, I can tell you that it’s very complicated. New technologies come out every year that change how we write software. New frameworks, concepts, languages, and ...

This week we’ll venture in the realm of theory for a change, starting with Turing machines. In case some of you don’t know what a Turing machine is, here is the Wikipedia definition: “A theoretical ...

The British mathematician and pioneer of computing Alan Turing published a paper in 1936 which described a Universal Machine, a theoretical model of a computer processor that would later become known ...
