DNA Computers

This document provides an overview of DNA computers. It discusses how DNA computers could potentially solve complex problems faster than silicon-based computers by performing calculations in parallel. While DNA computing is still an emerging technology, the document outlines how DNA acts as software that can be manipulated by enzymes acting as hardware. It also compares the key differences between silicon and DNA-based computation models.

Silicon Computers v/s DNA Computers
Silicon Computers DNA Computers
Operate linearly Perform calculations in parallel
Take years to solve complex Can solve the same problem in
mathematical problems hours
Represents info. as a series of Represents info. as a pattern of
electrical impulses using molecules arranged on DNA
1s & 0s strands.
CPU has basic operations DNA has cutting,copying,pasting,
like addition, bit-shifting, repairing enzymes
logical operators(AND,OR,NOT)
Logic gates accept electrical Instead of electrical signals DNA
signals from silicon transistors logic gates rely on DNA code

CONCLUSION
The main aspect of today's world Storage
space and memory
Limitations of Silicon Computers
The complex computations can also be easily
solved by the DNA Computers
