Profile based Hidden Markov Model is a widely used tool in bioinformatics. While being very valuable to biologists, it is extremely compute intensive and suffers from prohibitive...
The Logarithmic Number System (LNS) makes multiplication, division and powering easy, but subtraction is expensive. Cotransformation converts the difficult operation of logarithm...

A hardware-oriented method for evaluating complex polynomials by solving iteratively a system of linear equations is proposed. Its implementation uses a digit-serial iterations on...
Existing SIMD extensions cannot efficiently vectorize the histogram function due to memory collisions. We propose two techniques to avoid this problem. In the first, a hierarchi...
