DNA sequences alignment in multi-GPUs: acceleration and energy payoff

Abstract Background We present a performance per watt analysis of CUDAlign 4.0, a parallel strategy to obtain the optimal pairwise alignment of huge DNA sequences in multi-GPU platforms using the exact Smith-Waterman method. Results Our study includes acceleration factors, performance, scalability,...
