Query: Physical requirements for scaling up network-based biocomputation   The high energy consumption of electronic data processors, together with
physical challenges limiting their further improvement, has triggered intensive
interest in alternative computation paradigms. Here we focus on network-based
biocomputation (NBC), a massively parallel approach that benefits from the
energy efficiency of biological agents, such as molecular motors or bacteria,
and their availability in large numbers. We analyse and define the fundamental
requirements that need to be fulfilled to scale up NBC computers to become a
viable technology that can solve large NP-complete problem instances faster or
with less energy consumption than electronic computers. Our work can serve as a
guide for further efforts to contribute to elements of future NBC devices, and
as the theoretical basis for a detailed NBC roadmap.
