Only trying to accomplish this for the sake a research, really. If I can get enough of an optimized CA algorithm out of this, then I can apply the same methods to other things like PHP-based online gaming robots.

1-D Cellular Automata Optimization
I've toyed around with doing some simple CA and searching for primes in PHP and wanted to get some input as to what resources people could recommend. Just trying to get my logic to a point that I can have PHP evaluate and print out 1,000,000 (arbitrary number based on a 100 cells wide space for 10,000 generations, just to have a goal) cells before timing out at 30 seconds.

I knew storing this link someday turns out to be ...useful

But don't ask me about the algorithm. I never found myself interested in number theory

Of course. Trying to get it to that point in order to have a more optimal algorithm. Not in order to actually run something this taxing off a webserver attached to the outside world. I can only imagine how much I'd <span style='color:blue' title='I'm naughty, are you naughty?'>smurf</span> off my hosting company by using their servers for stuff like this.

I do appreciate the thought, neilsene. As any tech support will tell you always check the obvious first, you never know.
Thanks for the link, volka! A lot of it I've already read elsewhere but it has enough new info for me that I've bookmarked it and started to read it in between lines of code I need to write...
