Pairwise DNA Optimization using Intel Xeon Phi
by MichaelS from High-Performance Computing News Analysis | insideHPC on (#RZZZ)
The Smith-Waterman algorithm is widely used for pairwise DNA sequence alignment. The computation, consisting of looking for pattern in very long strings of the DNA alphabet, is very demanding. Using the Intel Xeon Phi, tremendous performance gains can be obtained, as long as the algorithms have been modified to take advantage of parallelism.
