| Abstract | The proliferation of high-throughput sequencing machines allows for the rapid generation of billions of short nucleotide fragments in a short period. This massive amount of sequence data can quickly overwhelm today's storage and compute infrastructure. This poster explores the use of hardware acceleration to significantly improve the runtime of short-read alignment (SRA), a crucial step in pre-processing sequenced genomes. It presents the design and implementation of ASAP, an accelerator for computing Levenshtein distance (LD) in the context of the SRA problem. LD computation is a prominent underlying mathematical kernel that is common to a large number of SRA tools (e.g., BLAST, BWA, SNAP) and is responsible for 50-70% of their runtime. These algorithms mentioned above calculate the exact value of LD between nucleotide strings but only use them to build a total ordering (an ordered list) of the most likely point of origin in the genome. ASAP computes an approximation of LD by encoding computation in propagation delay of circuit elements. This approximation is calculated in an accelerated fashion in hardware and preserves the original total ordering of LDs produced by the traditional algorithms. This computation is performed by constructing circuits that comprise the recursive definition of the LD computation and measuring propagation delay of a signal entering and leaving the circuit. Additionally, ASAP can explore large portions of the search space (substrings of the strings being compared) within one clock cycle, and ignore parts of the search space that does not contribute to an answer. Our design is implemented on an Altera Stratix V FPGA in an IBM POWER8 system using the CAPI interface for cache coherence across the CPU and FPGA. Our design is 200x faster (median measurement) than the equivalent C implementation of the kernel running on the host processor and 2.2x faster for an end-to-end alignment tool for 120-150bp short-read sequences. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
