Hardware acceleration of BWA-MEM genomic short read mapping for longer read lengths.

Hardware acceleration of BWA-MEM genomic short read mapping for longer read lengths.

We current our work on {hardware} accelerated genomics pipelines, utilizing both FPGAs or GPUs to speed up execution of BWA-MEM, a widely-used algorithm for genomic brief learn mapping. The mapping stage can take as much as 40% of total processing time for genomics pipelines. Our implementation offloads the Seed Extension perform, one of many predominant BWA-MEM computational features, onto an […]
