Abstract

Spiking Neural P systems (SN P system) are a kind of distributed and parallel computational model under membrane computing inspired by how neurons typically communicate with each other through the sending of spikes between synapses. To further study SN P systems, various dedicated simulators have been developed. WebSnapse, a web-based simulator of SN P systems, has been used to serve as visual aid for creating, modifying, and simulating SN P systems. This was upgraded on WebSnapse v2.0 by improving existing functionalities and adding support for more variants of SN P system. However, WebSnapse suffered performance and stability issues, especially when simulating larger SN P systems. This research aims to optimize the performance and stability of WebSnapse using a new way of computing the next state of the system while achieving feature parity with WebSnapse v2.0 and adding LaTeX support for rule input and visualization.
