Chapter 871: Biological
Most of the parts of the biological computer came together with a bit of brainstorming. For data storage, they created a species of small ant-like bug that reserved a large portion of its mind for storage that it couldnt really access. With so much of its memory reserved it was very simple and had to be fed by other bugs. Sage couldnt help himself from giving them a stupid name: Bitebug.
The next part of the system interacted with the Bitebugs and they decided on a spider that included the Hypnotic Eyes as well as an Ancestral Memory implanted Spirit Power technique of Telepathy. It could create a web without too much stickiness for the Bitebugs to live upon. With the web it could keep track of the Bitebugs positions. Using the Hypnotic Eyes and Telepathy it can call over the Bitebugs to access their data, reading their minds and then transferring the data to a pair of Bitebugs that acted as registers. Without putting much thought into it, he used another silly name: Spider Driver.
For the control unit there were upgraded Spider Drivers. They also had the Golden Cicadas Brood Master power along with the innate Law of Amalgamation. It used the Brood Masters ability to control the Spider Drivers and the Law of Amalgamation to oversee the Bitebugs. Not all of the Bitebugs were used strictly for data storage. Along with being registers there were some that were assigned to hold instructions of what data to use and what to do with it. Sage ran out of fun names and just called this bug the Master Unit.
After decades of breeding and experimentation along with solving dozens of other problems along the way they finally built a functioning computer. There were still many problems, but they had initial success. The system was still far too slow, considering it required living beings to move around and transfer information between each other rather than electrical signals moving at speeds approaching the speed of light. There was also the issue of no compiler, or a method of converting common input into a format the system liked better. This step was more important in a normal computer as everything had to be in machine code, but they didnt exactly follow that standard. This was of course one of their difficulties. There was a large amount of debate about the merits of creating a more complex type of operating code. Eventually, they gave up on it and standardized a more simplistic format for their data. It cut down on the more whimsical ideas, but it was also something that he knew worked. The more standardized the format of the data, the easier it was to standardize operations upon it, and also to increase its speed.
Developing an operating system while knowing next to nothing about operating systems was certainly an interesting challenge and they spent many years on this task. It was especially difficult as the system had started to use many cores in order to increase its speed. The Spider Drivers and Master Units could only move and transfer instructions at a limited speed, but nothing stopped them from just having more of them working in concert. Essentially, the bio-computer had hundreds of cores, complete with Master Unit, Spider Drivers, formations, and a bunch of Bitebugs, but each of these cores had a far slower processor speed. They had to build a system that relied heavily upon multi-threading which was a difficult task to have many cores running concurrently without performing simultaneous operations upon the same data. If you wanted to add to and then multiply a certain number, there would be a big problem if the multiplication happened before the addition. It was even worse if they were simultaneous. Would the data end up multiplied or added to? The data might be added to, then the multiplication would finish and overwrite the result of the addition. The system would think both operations had been performed when only one of them had been.
These were only the beginning of their problems, but luckily time was on their side. Lots and lots of time. Over and over again the systems were redesigned and altered. They had thousands of years to iterate upon the bio-computer, creating many forms of living hardware and programming software that could transform the Inner World.
