Danish Technical University has just invented a new type of computer with self-recovery function.

After completing the safety inspection of the device, this computer will be put into application by the US Aerospace Agency (NASA) in the category of life exploration on Mars.
Based on suggestions for a self-healing ability, the team of researchers led by expert Jan Madsen of the Technical University of Denmark has investigated the type of computer that has the ability to restore itself without fail. human involvement is needed. The team named this invention eDNA .
The researchers say that compared to common computers with only one central processor, the dominance of eDNA is that there are countless microprocessors like large numbers of cells in the human body .
Among these microprocessors, some parts are frequently operated, some other processors do 'preparatory ' tasks. When a processor or operation generates a problem and cannot operate regularly, one of the 'backup' processors will automatically activate, replacing the processor's task. broken.
Thus this computer will never fall into a state of " collapse " completely. Even if any processor has a problem, this computer can still operate reliably and stably.
Currently, eDNA computers are in NASA testing phase and by November there will be preliminary test results.
