We keep responding to the explosion of digital data by building more data centers. More drives. More cooling. More electricity. More physical infrastructure.
Meanwhile, DNA has a potential storage density so extraordinary that a single gram could hold around 215 petabytes of information. That is 215 million gigabytes in something that weighs about as much as a paperclip. Put simply, that is data-center-scale storage reduced to your pocket.
Universal Molecular Digital Interface (UMDI) Research Simulator is an open-source platform for modeling high-speed molecular data storage architectures toward active computer storage. Researchers can simulate configurable READ/WRITE workloads, analyze performance and bottlenecks, reproduce the published high-speed BioSSD benchmark, and test their own configurations against the reference architecture.
