  2. Bioinformatics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioinformatics

    Bioinformatics uses biology, chemistry, physics, computer science, data science, computer programming, information engineering, mathematics and statistics to analyze and interpret biological data. The process of analyzing and interpreting data can sometimes be referred to as computational biology , however this distinction between the two terms ...

  3. Biological computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_computing

    Biological computers use biologically derived molecules — such as DNA and/or proteins — to perform digital or real computations. The development of biocomputers has been made possible by the expanding new science of nanobiotechnology .

  4. Computer multitasking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_multitasking

    Possibly the earliest preemptive multitasking OS available to home users was Microware's OS-9, available for computers based on the Motorola 6809 such as the TRS-80 Color Computer 2, [8] with the operating system supplied by Tandy as an upgrade for disk-equipped systems. [9] Sinclair QDOS on the Sinclair QL followed in 1984, but it was not a ...

  5. Complex system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_system

    A complex system is a system composed of many components which may interact with each other. [1] Examples of complex systems are Earth's global climate, organisms, the human brain, infrastructure such as power grid, transportation or communication systems, complex software and electronic systems, social and economic organizations (like cities), an ecosystem, a living cell, and, ultimately, for ...

  6. Turing machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_machine

    While they can express arbitrary computations, their minimalist design makes them too slow for computation in practice: real-world computers are based on different designs that, unlike Turing machines, use random-access memory. Turing completeness is the ability for a computational model or a system of instructions to simulate a Turing machine ...

  7. History of computing hardware (1960s–present) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_computing...

    A more interactive form of computer use developed commercially by the middle 1960s. In a time-sharing system, multiple teleprinter and display terminals let many people share the use of one mainframe computer processor, with the operating system assigning time slices to each user's jobs. This was common in business applications and in science ...

  8. Biological system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_system

    A biological system is a complex network which connects several biologically relevant entities. Biological organization spans several scales and are determined based different structures depending on what the system is. [1]
