Firstly, the application of a cellular automata (CA) model to simulate the dynamics of lasers is reviewed. With this kind of model, the macroscopic properties of the laser system emerge as a cooperative phenomenon from elementary components locally interacting under simple rules. Secondly, a parallel implementation of this kind of model for distributed-memory parallel computers is presented. Performance and scalability of this parallel implementation running on a computer cluster are analyzed, giving very satisfactory results. This confirms the feasibility of running large 3D simulations — unaffordable on an individual machine — on computer clusters, in order to simulate specific real laser systems.

Cellular automaton models of complex systems (CSs) are gaining greater popularity; simultaneously, they have proven the capability to solve real scientific and engineering applications. To enable everybody a quick penetration into the core of this type of modeling, three real applications of cellular automaton models, including selected open source software codes, are studied: laser dynamics, dynamic recrystallization (DRX) and surface catalytic reactions. The paper is written in a way that it enables any researcher to reach the cutting edge knowledge of the design principles of cellular automata (CA) models of the observed phenomena in any scientific field. The whole sequence of design steps is demonstrated: definition of the model using topology and local (transition) rule of a cellular automaton, achieved results, comparison to real experiments, calibration, pathological observations, flow diagrams, software, and discussions. Additionally, the whole paper demonstrates the extreme expressiveness and flexibility of massively parallel computational approaches compared to other computational approaches. The paper consists of the introductory parts that are explaining CSs, self-organization and emergence, entropy, and CA. This allows readers to realize that there is a large variability in definitions and solutions of this class of models.
