Dedicated Hardware for Biological Sequence Comparison
Dominique Lavenier (IRISA, Campus de Beaulieu, France)
Abstract: Biological sequence comparison is a time consuming task on a Von Neuman computer. The addition of dedicated hardware for parallelizing the comparison algorithms results in a reduction of several orders of magnitude in the execution time. This paper presents and compares different dedicated approaches, based on the parallelization of the algorithms on linear arrays of processors.
