CUDASW++: optimizing Smith-Waterman sequence database searches for CUDA-enabled graphics processing units

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The Smith-Waterman algorithm is one of the most widely used tools for searching biological sequence databases due to its high sensitivity. Unfortunately, the Smith-Waterman algorithm is computationally demanding, which is further com...
