The Perfect Union: Biology and Computing
I was talking with my friend and colleague Larry Smarr the other day, and we found ourselves discussing the ways in which biology is today informing computer design. We started listing all the ways in which biology does things better than the old von Neumann computer structures of today, and the more we talked, the more absurdly huge these differences loomed. After a while, we just couldn't stop laughing ---
There is no comparison; biology is infinitely better at what computers do than today's computers.
In this week's discussion, we're going to look at how biology will inform computer design - and how compute systems will change biology.
