SGER: Design of a Biomolecular Distributed Operating Systems

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Biomolecular molecular computation (BMC) uses biochemical methods to do computation at the molecular level. The goal of this research is to determine key required capabilities of a distributed operating system (BMC-OS) for BMC, including: (i) distributed flow of control,(ii) distributed message transmission and message handling, (iii) distribution and retrieval of data and files,(iv) locality optimizations, (v) data integrity assurance, an(vi)distributed I/O. The effort is focusing on a few key topics which have the most impact on the design of a BMC-OS :(a) Integrity Assurance, Decreased I/O and Error Resiliency--a combination of computer science and biochemical techniques are being used to do data fingerprinting and a very high fan-out data distribution method (using redundant coding) will be used to increase data error resiliency. (b) Models and Simulation Software for BMC-OS--Parameterized performance models are used to reflect the geometric and other constraints (e.g., solution and reagent concentration, spatial distribution of DNA strands, temperature, salinity, etc.) on the BMC-OS control, including the application of MEMs technology to automate BMC.
