The objective of Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations is to determine the shape of a molecule in a given biomolecular environment. These simulations are very demanding computationa...
The demand for high performance has driven acyclic computation accelerators into extensive use in modern embedded and desktop architectures. Accelerators that are ideal from a sof...
Wavefront algorithms, such as the Smith-Waterman algorithm, are commonly used in bioinformatics for exact local and global sequence alignment. These algorithms are highly computat...
Visualization, interaction, and simulation (VIS) constitute a class of applications that is growing in importance. This class includes applications such as graphics rendering, vid...
