Presented By: Haripada Dey Electrical Engg. Final Year

This document discusses DNA computing as an alternative to silicon-based computing technologies. DNA computing, also known as molecular computing, uses DNA and its properties to solve computational problems. It has advantages over silicon in terms of speed, storage density, and power requirements due to its inherent parallelism and nanoscale dimensions. Some disadvantages are occasional slowness and DNA molecules fracturing over time. The document provides examples of early DNA computing research and compares DNA computing to conventional electronic computers.

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

 Moore’s Law : The Speed of


Computing Chip will Double
Roughly Every 18 months
 Silicon Based Semiconductor
Technology can’t Sustain
Moore’s Predictions.
 Physical Limits Posed By
Silicon Based Technology
 An Issue of Muller :- The
Narrowest Feature of
Semiconductor Device- The
Gate-Oxide will Reach its
Fundamental Physical Limits.
What is DNA Computing ?
 DNA and RNA
computing (also
sometimes referred to as
bio-molecular
computing or molecular
computing) is a new
computational paradigm
that harnesses biological
molecules to solve
computational problems.
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.
Advantages Of DNA
 Unmatchable Speed
Computers:-
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:-
 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
CONCLUSION
