From a computer scientific point of view they are a model for massively parallel computing systems. Here we are dealing with automata arrays as acceptors for formal languages. Our focus of investigations concerns their capabilities to accept the classical linguistic languages. While there are simple relations to the regular and context-sensitive ones here we shed some light on the relations to the context-free languages and some of their important subfamilies.
