Abstract:The BLAST sequence alignment program is a central application in bioinformatics. The de facto standard version, NCBI BLAST, uses complex heuristics which make it challenging to simultaneously achieve both high performance and exact agreement. In previous work, a system that used novel FPGA-based filters reduced the input database by over 99.97% without loss of sensitivity. In the present work we report experiences in getting from a prototype to a potential product for the Convey HC1-EX. There are several issue… Show more
