CATALOG is a Boston-based company that is developing a hyper-scalable, energy-efficient, storage and computing platform that is based on DNA as the medium. Our approach is far more cost-effective than expanding global energy production and ensures that technological progress continues sustainably and without compromising the environment.
The exponential energy demands driven by AI and conventional computing are on a collision course with the limitations of global energy production. Energy consumption of computing systems doubles every three years. We are nearing a cap in computational capacity—an ‘extinction event’ for rapid scaling of conventional computing paradigms.
Preserve your data for eternity in DNA and collaborate with us on DNA based computing. This can be any data like books, documents, songs, videos, or pictures.
With the CATALOG platform, data is stored directly in DNA and computational operations are performed in chemistry, allowing massively parallel operations that are simultaneously executed on trillions of molecules. Another unique advantage of the CATALOG technology is that it offers extraordinary data protection through high redundancy and chemical encryption, all while being biosecure. CATALOG can support writing, organization, and computation over multiple types of data. CATALOG has demonstrated a massively parallel search operation on text over a 208k-word text archive.
