Analysing the Parallel Scalability of Mechanical NanocomputersThrough Interconnection Network Evaluatorsfor Pharmaceutical Applications

Abstract

This paper explores the potential of mechanical nano-machines for computation by
evaluating its parallelisation power through static interconnection network evaluations.
It investigates the mechanical nano-machine model as a 2-Dimensional mesh to analyse
factors like diameter, bisection width, arc connectivity, and cost. The research suggests
that around 448 nanogears per machine offers an ideal balance between minimizing
diameter and bisection width while maximizing connectivity, proving that a mechanical
nano-computer is indeed parallelisable. This highlights the potential scalability of
mechanical nano-computers, showcasing their potential in pharmaceutical applications.
