| Abstract | This paper describes a multi-threaded parallel design and implementation of the Smith-Waterman (SM) algorithm on compute unified device architecture (CUDA)-compatible graphic processing units (GPUs). A novel technique has been put forward to solve the restriction on the length of the query sequence in previous GPU implementations of the Smith-Waterman algorithm. The main reasons behind this limitation in previous GPU implementations were the finite size of local memory and number of threads per block. Our solution to this problem uses a divide and conquer approach to compute the alignment matrix involved in each pairwise sequence alignment, as it divides the entire matrix computation into multiple sub-matrices and allocates the available amount of threads and memory resources to each sub-matrix iteratively. Intermediate data is stored in shared and global memory on the fly depending on the length of sequences in hand. The proposed technique resulted in up to 4.2 GCUPS (Giga Cell Updates per Second) performance when tested against the SWISS-PROT protein database, which is up to 15 times faster than a equivalent optimised CPU-only implementation running on a Pentium4 3.4GHz desktop computer. Moreover, our implementation can cope with any query or subject sequence size, unlike previously reported GPU implementations of the Smith-Waterman algorithm which makes it fully deployable in real world bioinformatics applications. |

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.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
