The splicing mechanism and the Connex memory

Presents the main ideas concerning the implementation of a molecular mechanism in solid-state circuits: the splicing operation. The physical support for this operation is the Connex memory circuit (Stefan, 1986, 1995). Observing the similarities between a DNA computing-based mechanism and this new type of memory, we make a proposal to implement fine-grain computational parallelism on silicon. We promote this solution because a pure biological process is very hard to interface with machines in today's technologies. We make also evaluations of the complexity of our proposed machine.
