Traditionally, instruction-set simulators (ISS’s) are sequential programs running on individual processors. Besides the advances of simulation techniques, ISS’s have been main...
Accelerating program performance via SIMD vector units is very common in modern processors, as evidenced by the use of SSE, MMX, VSE, and VSX SIMD instructions in multimedia, scien...
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...
Background: Searching for similarities in protein and DNA databases has become a routine procedure in Molecular Biology. The Smith-Waterman algorithm has been available for more t...
