SALoBa
Maximizing Data Locality and Workload Balance for Fast Sequence Alignment on GPUs
Conference paper

Sequence alignment forms an important backbone in many sequencing applications. A commonly used strategy for sequence alignment is an approximate string matching with a two-dimensional dynamic programming approach. Although some prior work has been conducted on GPU acceleration of a sequence alignment, we identify several shortcomings that limit exploiting the full computational capability of modern GPUs. This paper presents SALoBa, a GPU-accelerated sequence alignment library focused on seed extension. Based on the analysis of previous work with real-world sequencing data, we propose techniques to exploit the data locality and improve work-load balancing. The experimental results reveal that SALoBa significantly improves the seed extension kernel compared to state-of-the-art GPU-based methods.
