PZLAST: an ultra-fast sequence similarity search tool implemented on a MIMD processor

We have developed an ultra-fast sequence similarity search tool named PZLAST on a MIMD processor PEZY-SC2. In this paper, we show the merit of MIMD features in reducing the load imbalance among the threads. Additionally, we point out two problems related to the implementation on an ultra-parallel computation accelerator as follows: (1) Deciding the optimal amount of inputs prior to the run is extr...
