Dreams for new-device-based superchips: from transistors to enzymes

The concept of multiplex computing is proposed to realize superchips free from interconnection problems. Parallel processing with multiplexable information carriers makes it possible to construct large-scale, highly parallel systems with reduced interconnections. Possible implementation approaches based on frequency-mode electronics, multiwave optoelectronics and bioelectronics are presented, and their advantages and disadvantages are discussed.<<ETX>>
