The input to these systems are natural numbers expressed in binary form, encoded as appropriate sequences of spikes. A single system accepts as inputs numbers of any size. The present work may be considered as a first step towards the design of a CPU based on the working of spiking neural P systems.}, keywords = {Arithmetic operations, Membrane computing, spiking neural P systems}, issn = {1841-9836}, url = {http://journal.univagora.ro/?page=article_details\&id=369}, author = {Miguel A.
