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 Uni{\textasciimacron}ed Device Architecture). We present some examples, compare the obtained time and present some research lines for the future.}, url = {http://www.gcn.us.es/9BWMC/volume/23smoothing_v5.pdf}, author = {Francisco Pe{\~n}a-Cantillana and Daniel D{\'\i}az-Pernil and Hepzibah A.
