Design space exploration for the BLAST algorithm implementationDesign space exploration for the BLAST algorithm implementation Δημοσίευση σε Συνέδριο Conference Publication 2015-11-172007enThe most prevalent algorithm for DNA sequence matching is the BLAST algorithm. During recent years we have developed several FPGA-based architectures to speed up BLAST execution. In this work we present a new VLSI architecture as a followup to our reconfigurable logic-based architectures, and we compare the performance of several software and hardware implementations of BLAST.http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/323-32615th IEEE International Symposium on Field-Programmable Custom Computing MachinesProceedings of the 15th IEEE International Symposium on Field-Programmable Custom Computing Machines Sotiriadis Evripidis Σωτηριαδης Ευριπιδης Dollas Apostolos Δολλας Αποστολος Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Computers--Programming Electronic computer programming Electronic data processing--Programming Electronic digital computers--Programming Programming (Electronic computers) computer programming computers programming electronic computer programming electronic data processing programming electronic digital computers programming programming electronic computers
