THE FUTURE OF

Future of Computing
Innovations for the Future of
Computing

Moore’s Law predicts that the number of transistors in an


integrated circuit doubles every two years as technological
advances continue. It means that every two years, electronic
devices can do twice as many new and innovative functions as
before.
Innovations for the Future of
Computing

For example, a computer chip that contained 2,000


transistors that cost P50,000 in 1970 became P25,000 in
1972, P12,500 in 1974, and P48.50 in 1990. Nowadays, it
costs less than P1.00 to manufacture today.
Innovations for the Future of
Computing

However, in 2015, Gordon Moore stated that Moore’s


Law would not be as reliable in the next decade as
companies slowly shift focus toward non-silicon
computing which may result in substantial efficiency
gains soon.

Innovations in the computing industry:
Graphene-based Transistors

Graphene is a thin one-atom-thick sheet


that is more conductive than any other
known material. It can be rolled up into
tiny tubes called nanotubes and combined
with other 2D materials to move electrons
quickly, requiring lesser space and energy
than the smallest silicon transistor.
Innovations in the computing industry:
Quantum Computing
It uses quantum bits, or qubits, which are the physical carrier of
quantum information. Compared to a traditional bit, one (1) qubit is
equivalent to two (2) bits meaning that 2n where n is the qubit value.

Using subatomic particles, quantum computers can represent different


states simultaneously. These particles will then be controlled by the
rules of probability and not absolute states or logic gates.

Controlling small subatomic particles allow researchers to solve


problems, such as identifying drug properties, performing complex
computations, and helping chip designers create impossibly complex
circuits.
Innovations in the computing industry:
DNA Computing
As computers can only analyze one potential answer at a time,
the advancements in DNA computing due to parallel processing
made analyzing all possible answers at once available. It is
possible as DNA data storage can put all the information into the
tiniest storage.

Other features include DNA fingerprinting and decoding strategic


information such as banking, military, and communications data.
Neuromorphic Technology
Neuromorphic
Technology
It aims to create a
computer that imitates
the architecture of the
human brain with much
lesser energy than a
traditional transistor.
Optical Computing
It uses photons by mapping data onto light-intensity
levels and then changing the light intensity to
perform calculations allowing optical computing at
the nanoscale possible at the speed of light.

Although still in an early development phase, this


could enable high-efficiency and low-power
processing data transmission

Optical computers may use fiber-optic cables, optical


chips, or wireless optical networks to process and
transmit data.
Distributed Computing
refers to the use of multiple computer
systems working together on a single
problem or task. This approach allows for
the efficient use of resources and can
lead to improved performance, reliability,
and scalability.
Distributed Computing
The current peak of this model is the Folding@home which
models protein molecules to discover cures for serious
diseases such as Alzheimer’s, cancer, and COVID-19.

The project has amassed nearly 750,000 participants with a


collective of 1.5 exaflops of power, allowing quintillion
calculations per second. It has 75% of the projected speed of
the El Capitan supercomputer, which will be deemed the world’s
fastest by 2023.

According to Virgil Dupras, a software developer,


Collapse OS is an open-source operating system

In 2019, Dupras envisioned the collapse of the global


supply chain by 2030, where populations will not be
able to produce electronics anymore. He predicts
that political and social power remains and that
anyone who can scavenge electronic devices will
have huge advantages.

Collapse OS will run on Z80 8-bit
microprocessors. Z80 8-bit are found in desktop
computers, cash registers, and graphing
calculators, though less common today than 16-
and 32-bit components.

It can self-replicate with enough RAM and


storage, read SD cards, and has a simple text
editor. The kernels are modules connected with
glue code to make the system flexible and
adaptable.

The goal is to initiate a post-collapse civilization’s


return to the computer age.

Electronics production relies on a complex supply


chain that, once it crumbles, will return humankind
to a less technical age and face difficulties in
regaining the previous technical position.
Conclusion
Conclusion
The rapid evolution of computing technology, as highlighted by the
innovations discussed, presents an exciting future for the industry. The
shift towards non-silicon computing, coupled with advancements in
graphene-based transistors, quantum computing, DNA computing, and
other emerging technologies, promises to reshape the landscape of
computing. These innovations not only hold the potential for substantial
efficiency gains but also offer unprecedented opportunities in various
fields, such as drug discovery, complex computations, and complex
circuit design. As we look to the future, it becomes increasingly
important to stay informed about these advancements and trends to
remain at the forefront of this dynamic and evolving field.
