Background: To infer homology and subsequently gene function, the Smith-Waterman (SW) algorithm is used to find the optimal local alignment between two sequences. When searching s...
This paper presents our experience mapping OpenMP parallel programming model to the IBM Cyclops-64 (C64) architecture. The C64 employs a many-core-on-a-chip design that integrates...
