Abstract:The k-mers processing techniques based on partitioning of the data set on the disk using minimizer-type seeds have led to a significant reduction in memory requirements; however, it has added processes (search and distribution of super k-mers) that can be intensive given the large volume of data. This paper presents a massive parallel processing model in order to enable the efficient use of heterogeneous computation to accelerate the search of super k-mers based on seeds (minimizers or signatures). The model i… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
