The Power Of Plant Clock Computing
March 1, 2010 | Source: the physics ArXiv blog
Stochastic process algebra, which encompasses concurrent processes and the communication between them, could lead to a new generation of super-efficient computing.
Process algebra, which is being used by UK scientists for computation of the complex biochemical processes that drive the circadian clock of a plant, is potentially more powerful by several orders of magnitude than sequential Turing machine-based computing processes.
