Micromagnetics supports emergent discrete structures, an emergent dyna
mics, and emergent conservation laws; here we discuss these features i
n view of their potential to be harnessed for computational purposes.
More generally, we use micromagnetics as a concrete setting for discus
sing how fine-grained, massively parallel computation might be achieve
d in a homogeneously fabricated and homogeneously driven medium. (C) 1
