Product Information

The cycle time is 79*240 life generations compared with 46*240 generations for the TM. It take Golly less than a minute on my laptop to complete the 6113 cycles of the UTM corresponding to 62 cycles of the TM encoded on the UTM tape. I used Golly in hashlife mode with hyperspeed set and 8

The important difference is that the program in the Finite State Machine (FSM) is a Universal Turing Machine program. This requires that the program for a specific Turing machine (TM) is provided on the tape. The program provided on the tape is a variant of the program in the Finite State Machine of the Turing Machine in Conway's Game of Life previously described. A version of the Universal Turing Machine program can be found in the Java TM simulator.
