Synopsis :

Written by internationally renowned experts, this book introduces emerging parallel architectures, their corresponding programming paradigms, and their bioinformatics applications. Providing two introductory chapters to supply necessary background on sequential bioinformatics algorithms and parallel architectures-such as multi-cores, Cell B.E., GPUs, FPGAs-it then presents parallelization strategies and performance evaluations for numerous state-of-the-art bioinformatics algorithms and tools. Topics include pairwise sequence alignment, multiple sequence alignment, BLAST, motif finding, and pattern matching. The book also covers sequence assembly, hidden Markov models, molecular dynamics, and evolutionary tree reconstruction.

À propos de l?auteur:

Bertil Schmidt is Associate Professor at the School of Computer Engineering at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore. Prior to that, he was faculty member at the University of New South Wales and Senior Researcher at the University of Melbourne, Australia. At NTU he also held appointments as Program Director M.Sc. in Bioinformatics and Deputy Director of BMERC. Before coming to Singapore, he held research appointments at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and RWTH Aachen. Bertil has been involved in the design and implementation of parallel algorithms and architectures for over a decade. He has worked extensively with fine-grained (e.g. GPUs, FPGAs, Cell BE), coarse-grained (clusters, grids) as well as hybrid parallel architectures. He has successfully applied these technologies to various domains including bioinformatics, image processing, multimedia video compression, and cryptography. He has published more than 35 journal papers in leading journals such as Journal of VLSI Signal Processing, Microelectronic Engineering, IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems II, IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems, IEEE Transactions on IT in Biomedicine, Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing, Parallel Computing, Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience, Future Generation Computer Systems, Bioinformatics, BMC Bioinformatics, Autoimmunity, and Computer Physics Communications.
