摘要
En 中文
Edit distance is a computational grand challenge problem to quantify the minimum number of editing operations required to modify one string of characters to the other, finding many applications of natural language processing. In recent years, relevant and increasing interest has also emerged from deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) applications, like Next Generation Sequencing and DNA storage technologies. Both applications share two crucial features: i) the information is coded into the four bases of DNA and ii) the level of operational noise is still high causing errors in the data, requiring inclusion in the workflow of the computation of algorithms such as the edit distance for finding similarities between sequences. To boost this computation many solutions are available in the literature. Among them, the FPGAs are largely used since the data domain of those applications is strings of 4 characters represented as two-bit values, inconveniently fitting the basic data types of ordinary CPUs and GPUs, with additional benefits of providing a high level of parallelism and low processing latency. This contribution presents a computing- and energy-efficient design implementing the edit distance algorithm combining metaprogramming and High-Level Synthesis. We also assess the performance of our design targeting recent FPGA-based accelerators. Our solution uses nearly 90% of FPGA basic-block hardware resources achieving about 90% of computing efficiency delivering a maximum throughput of 16.8 TCUPS and an energy efficiency of 46 Mpair/Joule, enabling the use of FPGAs as anew class of accelerators for High Performance Computing in DNA applications.
