Radical Computing III.

Abstract

We explore two topics suggested from the last study. The first is Molecular Computing which may offer a technology that could realize some the ideas of reversible computing. The second topic is the Theory of Transformation of Weak Methods into Strong Methods. This is a direct extension of our prior Source Program Transformation work. Since the goal of this and all our previous work is to identify potential new development, the ideas discussed herein are quite speculative and should be considered with some caution. We limit our investigation to improvements in computer performance in the execution of only difficult calculations. We will not seek higher performance in the execution of only difficult calculations. We will not seek higher performance for problems easily managed by today's machines.
