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...
Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) tractography in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a computationally intensive procedure, requiring on the order of tens of minutes to complete tr...
Dot-products are one of the essential and recurrent building blocks in scientific computing, and often take-up a large proportion of the scientific acceleration circuitry. The ac...
—Accelerators are special purpose processors designed to speed up compute-intensive sections of applications. Two extreme endpoints in the spectrum of possible accelerators are F...
