Abstract:With a high accuracy, the Smith-Waterman local sequence alignment algorithm requires a very large amount of memory and computation, making implementations on common computing systems become less practical. In this paper, we present swGPUCluster an implementation of the Smith-Waterman algorithm on a cluster equipped with NVIDIA GPU graphics cards (called a GPU cluster) . Our test was performed on a cluster of two nodes, one node is equipped with a dual graphics card NVIDIA GeForce GTX 295, a Tesla C1060 card, a… Show more
