Presented by: Haripada dey Electrical engg. Final year

OUT LINE
INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION
Contemporary

technology used for computing :- Silicon Based Semiconductor Technology Upper Limits in Terms of Speed and Size Alternative Technology : DNA Computing or Molecular Computing. DNA Computing :- Still an Emerging Field

BEYOND SILICON

Moores Law : The Speed of Computing Chip will Double Roughly Every 18 months Silicon Based Semiconductor Technology cant Sustain Moores Predictions. Physical Limits Posed By Silicon Based Technology An Issue of Muller :The Narrowest

What is DNA Computing ?


DNA

and RNA computing (also sometimes referred to as biomolecular computing or molecular computing) is a new computational paradigm that harnesses

What is DNA?
DNA

is Deoxyribonucleic Acid. It is a Double-Stranded Helix of Nucleotides that Carries the genetic information of a cell. These Nucleotides consists of one of the 4 bases-Adenine(A), Thymine(T), Guanine(G), Cytosine(C). A pairs with T, G pairs with C.

Origins of DNA Computing


Dr.

Leonard Adleman : the Father of DNA Computing. By using strands of DNA annealing to each other, he was able to compute a solution to an instance of the Hamiltonian path problem (HPP). This is Also Known as The Travelling Salesman Problem(TSP).

Conditions
The

Path Must Start at City A and End at City E Of Those Paths, The Correct Paths Must Pass Through All 5 Cities at Least Once. The Final Path(s) must Contain Each City in Turn.

Unmatchable

Speed Due To Inherent Parallelism 100 Times Faster Than Fastest Super Computer. Minimal Storage Requirement:DNA stores Memory at a Density of About One Bit Per Cubic Nanometer.

Advantages Of DNA Computers:-

Advantages: Minimal

Power Requirement : Because of The Chemical Bonds. Clean, Cheap and Available. Suitable for Combinatorial Problems .

Disadvantages of DNA Computer


Occasionally

Slow Hydrolysis : The DNA Molecules Can Fracture

COMPARISON OF DNA AND CONVENTIONAL ELECTRONIC COMPUTERS


Similarities

Transformation of Data :- Both Use Boolean Logic. Manipulation of Data :- Both Store Information in Strings. Computation Ability

Differences Size Representation of Data : Base 4 For DNA Computers Parallelism : DNA Computers inherently Parallel. Material
