The alignment of many short sequences of DNA, called reads, to a long reference genome is a common task in molecular biology. When the problem is expanded to handle typical workloads of billions of reads, execution time becomes critical. In this paper we present a novel reconfigurable architecture for minimal perfect sequencing (RAMPS). While existing solutions attempt to align a high percentage of...
In this paper, we study the design and implementation of a reconfigurable architecture for graph processing algorithms. The architecture uses a message-passing model targeting shared-memory multi-FPGA platforms. We take advantage of our architecture to showcase a parallel implementation of the all-pairs shortest path algorithm (APSP) for unweighted directed graphs. Our APSP implementation adopts a...
This paper presents a lossless double-precision floating point compression algorithm. Floating point compression can reduce the cost of storing and transmitting large amounts of data associated with big data problems. A previous algorithm called FPC performs well and uses predictors. However, predictors have limitations. Our program (fzip) overcomes some of these limitations, fzip has 2 phases, first...
Text classification is an important enabling technology for a wide range of applications such as Internet search, email filtering, network intrusion detection, and data mining electronic documents in general. The k Nearest Neighbors (k-NN) text classification algorithm is among the most accurate classification approaches, but is also among the most computationally expensive. In this paper, we propose...
This paper describes the architecture of the winning entry to the 2014 Memocode Design Contest, in the maximum performance category. This year's Memocode design contest asks contestants to find the 10 nearest neighbors between 1,000 testing points and 10,000,000 training points. Instead of using Euclidean distance, the contest uses Mahalanobis distance. The contest has 2 awards: the maximum performance...
