  2. Processor (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Processor_(computing)

    For software and systems uses, see Processor § Computing. In computing and computer science, a processor or processing unit is an electrical component (digital circuit) that performs operations on an external data source, usually memory or some other data stream. [1] It typically takes the form of a microprocessor, which can be implemented on ...

  3. Bioinformatics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioinformatics

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

  4. Biological computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_computing

    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. The term nanobiotechnology can be defined in multiple ways; in a more general sense ...

  5. Computational biology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_biology

    Starting in 1990, by 1999, chromosome 22 became the first human chromosome to be completely sequenced. Computational biology refers to the use of data analysis, mathematical modeling and computational simulations to understand biological systems and relationships. [1] An intersection of computer science, biology, and big data, the field also ...

  6. Central processing unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_processing_unit

    A central processing unit (CPU), also called a central processor, main processor, or just processor, is the most important processor in a given computer. [1][2] Its electronic circuitry executes instructions of a computer program, such as arithmetic, logic, controlling, and input/output (I/O) operations. [3][4][5] This role contrasts with that ...

  7. Biological computation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_computation

    The concept of biological computation proposes that living organisms perform computations, and that as such, abstract ideas of information and computation may be key to understanding biology. [1][2] As a field, biological computation can include the study of the systems biology computations performed by biota [3][4][5][6][7] the design of ...

  8. DNA computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_computing

    DNA computing is an emerging branch of unconventional computing which uses DNA, biochemistry, and molecular biology hardware, instead of the traditional electronic computing. Research and development in this area concerns theory, experiments, and applications of DNA computing. Although the field originally started with the demonstration of a ...

  9. Microprocessor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microprocessor

    A microprocessor is a computer processor for which the data processing logic and control is included on a single integrated circuit (IC), or a small number of ICs. The microprocessor contains the arithmetic, logic, and control circuitry required to perform the functions of a computer's central processing unit (CPU).
