how can i multiply an image and put it together in one frame automatically?
Open your picture and bring up the Canvas command (Ctrl Alt C)
Make sure that Relative is checked, and add as many multiples of the image width and height as you need.
I have doubled the canvas size below, giving me four instances of the original image
Note I have set the canvas to expand from the top left corner (green highlight)

My new canvas now looks like this

Copy the background layer three times, and drag each layer into place with the Move tool. The layers will Snap into place

Can this process be automated entirely with an action or a script?

To build on Trevor.Dennis​ solution, once you have created a larger canvas:
1. Open the "gnome" file and choose Edit > Define Pattern and click OK
2. Choose your larger canvas and Edit > Fill > and in the Custom Pattern field drop-down menu choose your pattern. It's the last one. OK
It will fill the canvas with the pattern (shown smaller here.)

Nice one Norman. I was going to suggest Contact Sheet II, but AFAIK it does not duplicate a single image. You would need to fill a folder with copies of your image

File > Automate > Contact Sheet II

Note I have turned off captians

I went with the default 8 X 10 inches for the document size, which does not match the aspect ratio of the gnome document, so there is a gap between the rows. If'd worked that out and set it accordingly, it would all have lined up nicely
