International Parallel and Distributed Processing Symposium (IPDPS'03) Sequence Alignment on the Cray MTA-2 Nice, France April 22-April 26 ISBN: 0-7695-1926-1
The standard algorithm for alignment of DNA sequences using dynamic programming has been implemented on the Cray MTA-2 (Multithreaded Architecture-2) at ENRI (Electronic Navigation Research Institute), Japan. Descriptions of several variants of this algorithm and their measured performance are provided. It is shown that the use of "Full/Empty" bits (a feature unique to the MTA) leads to implementations that provide almost perfect speedup for large problems on 1-8 processors. These results demonstrate the potential power of the MTA and emphasize its suitability for bioinformatic and dynamic programming applications.
