With the development of modern technology, the computer has become an essential tool in people’s daily life. At the beginning of the 21st century, the biological computer was introduced. In recent studies, people have established different logical pathways such as "and", "or" and "xor (Exclusive or) " in prokaryote cells and mammalian cells. However, we discover that these pathways can only function in single cells. But we also find that these implementations are limited in one cell, which in fact greatly suppress the ability of application in which we require high-throughout, large scale, super-fast delivery and processing of information.  We want to design a biofilm-based E.chip that will allow signal transmission and processing among E.coli bacterial colonies. The rapid proliferation of bacteria and their large number will help us realize the idea of cloud computation through biological computers.
