This is a list of systems that are Turing-complete.

To be Turing-complete, a system must have unbounded memory, access to that memory, and loops that can repeat forever.

Turing-complete systems

  • Turing machines with 2 symbols and a blank tape
  • Turing machines with 2 states and a blank tape
  • Turing machines with 15 states and 2 symbols
  • Turing machines with 9 states and 3 symbols
  • Turing machines with 6 states and 4 symbols
  • Turing machines with 5 states and 5 symbols
  • Turing machines with 4 states and 6 symbols
  • Turing machines with 3 states and 9 symbols
  • Turing machines with 2 states and 18 symbols
  • Turing machines with 24 instructions

Open problems about Turing-completenesss

  • Turing machines with minimum states and symbols count
  • Turing machines with minimum instructions count
  • Turing machines with minimum move left transitions count
  • Turing machines with minimum states with 2 defined transitions and 2 symbols count
  • Turing machines with minimum symbols with 2 defined transitions and 2 states count
  • Turing machines with 2 symbols and a blank tape but each state must write the same symbol
  • Turing machines with 2 symbols and a blank tape but each state must move in the same direction
  • Turing machines with 2 states and a blank tape but each symbol must write the same symbol
  • Turing machines with 2 states and a blank tape but each symbol must move in the same direction
  • Turing machines with 2 states and a blank tape but each symbol must go to the same state
