—The most pervasive compute operation carried out in almost all bioinformatics applications is pairwise sequence homology detection (or sequence alignment). Due to exponentially ...
Recent advances in healthcare and bioscience technologies and proliferation of portable medical devices are producing massive amounts of multimodal data. The need for parallel pro...
Background: The prediction of the structure of large RNAs remains a particular challenge in bioinformatics, due to the computational complexity and low levels of accuracy of state...
We present an automatic skew mitigation approach for userdefined MapReduce programs and present SkewTune, a system that implements this approach as a drop-in replacement for an e...
