Modern CPUs have instructions that allow basic operations to be performed on several data elements in parallel. These instructions are called SIMD instructions, since they apply a...
Background: The implementation of high throughput sequencing for exploring biodiversity poses high demands on bioinformatics applications for automated data processing. Here we in...
— This paper describes a design and implementation of the Smith-Waterman algorithm accelerated on the graphics processing unit (GPU). Our method is implemented using compute uniï...
Background: The Smith-Waterman algorithm for local sequence alignment is more sensitive than heuristic methods for database searching, but also more time-consuming. The fastest ap...
With the rise of XML, the database community has been challenged by semi-structured data processing. Since the data type behind XML is the tree, state-of-the-art RDBMSs have learn...
