According to the recent investigations great attention is paid to using high porosity bodies like aerogels as drug delivery systems. Being nontoxic and environmental friendly they have high potential to be applied in pharmaceutics. Modeling of drug release process from aerogel-drug formulations by means of cellular automata with Margolus neighborhood is presented in this paper. Margolus cellular automata have an important property of microscopic reversibility as well as real diffusion process. To apply this method high computational power is required. Special computer with parallel calculations based on CUDA technology was designed for this purpose.
