Staircase Method: A Novel Method for Parallelizing S-W Algorithm
نویسنده
چکیده
Sequence comparison is a basic operation in DNA sequencing projects, and most of sequence comparison methods are based on heuristics, which are fast but not sensitive. The Dynamic Programming Algorithm, Smith-Waterman, obtains the best alignment, but at the expense of computational time. Unfortunately, the inefficiency in the performance of the Smith-Waterman algorithm limits its applications in the real world. A possible way out of this is to use parallelization methods for decreasing the time taken to execute the algorithm. In this paper, we present a two master method and a novel parallel technique called staircase method to improve the performance of the Smith-Waterman algorithm.

Image Zooming using Non-linear Partial Differential Equation
The main issue in any image zooming techniques is to preserve the structure of the zoomed image. The zoomed image may suffer from the discontinuities in the soft regions and edges; it may contain artifacts, such as image blurring and blocky, and staircase effects. This paper presents a novel image zooming technique using Partial Differential Equations (PDEs). It combines a non-linear Fourth-ord...
متن کاملParallelizing Assignment Problem with DNA Strands
Background:Many problems of combinatorial optimization, which are solvable only in exponential time, are known to be Non-Deterministic Polynomial hard (NP-hard). With the advent of parallel machines, new opportunities have been emerged to develop the effective solutions for NP-hard problems. However, solving these problems in polynomial time needs massive parallel machines and ...
متن کاملA Novel Technique for Steganography Method Based on Improved Genetic Algorithm Optimization in Spatial Domain
This paper devotes itself to the study of secret message delivery using cover image and introduces a novel steganographic technique based on genetic algorithm to find a near-optimum structure for the pair-wise least-significant-bit (LSB) matching scheme. A survey of the related literatures shows that the LSB matching method developed by Mielikainen, employs a binary function to reduce the numbe...
متن کاملEfficient parallelization of the genetic algorithm solution of traveling salesman problem on multi-core and many-core systems
Efficient parallelization of genetic algorithms (GAs) on state-of-the-art multi-threading or many-threading platforms is a challenge due to the difficulty of schedulation of hardware resources regarding the concurrency of threads. In this paper, for resolving the problem, a novel method is proposed, which parallelizes the GA by designing three concurrent kernels, each of which running some depe...
متن کاملA novel local search method for microaggregation
In this paper, we propose an effective microaggregation algorithm to produce a more useful protected data for publishing. Microaggregation is mapped to a clustering problem with known minimum and maximum group size constraints. In this scheme, the goal is to cluster n records into groups of at least k and at most 2k_1 records, such that the sum of the within-group squ...
