FPGA-Based Accelerators for Bioinformatics Applications
Abstract
The recent and astonishing advances in Molecular Biology, which led to the sequencing of an unprecedented number of genomes, including the human, would not have been possible without the help of Bioinformatics. Bioinformatics can be defined as a research area where computational tools and algorithms are developed to help biologists in the task of understanding the organisms. Some Bioinformatics applications, such as pairwise and sequence-profile comparison, require a huge amount of computing power and, therefore, are excellent candidates to run in FPGA platforms. This chapter discusses in detail several recent proposals on FPGA-based accelerators for these two Bioinformatics applications, highlighting the similarities and differences among them. At the end of the chapter, research tendencies and open questions are presented.
