Tissue P systems are a class of bio-inspired computing models motivated by biochemical interactions between cells in a tissue-like arrangement. Tissue P systems with cell division offer a theoretical device to generate an exponentially growing structure in order to solve computationally hard problems efficiently with the assumption that there exists a global clock to mark the time for the system, the execution of each rule is completed in exactly one time unit. Actually, the execution time of different biochemical reactions in cells depends on many uncertain factors. In this work, with this biological inspiration, we remove the restriction on the execution time of each rule, and the computational efficiency of tissue P systems with cell division is investigated. Specifically, we solve subset sum problem by tissue P systems with cell division in a time-free manner in the sense that the correctness of the solution to the problem does not depend on the execution time of the involved rules.
