This paper presents a systolic filter for speeding up the scan of DNA databases. The filter acts as a co-processor which performs the more intensive computations occurring during the process. Our Validation, based on a FPGA prototype board tightly connected to a workstation, has shown that the filter may boost the performance of the machine by a factor ranging from 50 to 400 over current workstations.
