We now exist in the era of massive datasets from genomics, large language models, and all the known knowledge of humanity right at our fingertips. Much of this data is becoming more accessible; however, processing such data remains an ongoing issue across systems including high performance computing (HPC)…

Filtering records using command line tools is a staple of Bioin-formatics. In analysis pipelines and in day-to-day research tools such as awk, grep, and cut are the workhorses of much of our data crunching. To date, there is no command line utility for performing index-free alignment-based filtering of records. Ish is…

- Evaluating how well a whole system or set of subsystems performs is one of the primary objectives of performance testing. We can tell via performance assessment if the architecture implementation meets the design objectives. Performance evaluations of several parallel algorithms are compared in this study. Both…

Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) workloads largely consist of pipelines of tasks with heterogeneous compute, memory, and storage requirements. Identifying the optimal system configuration has historically required expertise in both system architecture and bioinformatics. This paper outlines infrastructure…

The rapid advancements in sequencing length necessitate the adoption of increasingly efficient sequence alignment algorithms. The Needleman-Wunsch method introduces the foundational dynamic programming (DP) matrix calculation for global alignment, which evaluates the overall alignment of sequences. However, this method…

The continually increasing volume of sequence data results in a growing demand for fast implementations of core algorithms. Computation of pairwise alignments based on dynamic programming is an important part in many bioinformatics pipelines and a major contributor to overall runtime due to the associated quadratic…

Cores Authors: ['Denis Los' 'Igor Petushkov'] Abstract—Nowadays, latency-critical, high-performance applications are parallelized even on power-constrained client systems to improve performance. However, an important scenario of fine-grained tasking on simultaneous multithreading CPU cores in such systems has not been…

Durbin’s positional Burrows-Wheeler transform (PBWT) enables algorithms with the optimal time complexity of O(MN) for reporting all vs all haplotype matches in a population panel with M haplotypes and N variant sites. However, even this efficiency may still be too slow when the number of haplotypes reaches millions. To…

The exponential growth of omics data requires novel strategies for storage, transfer, and processing of said data. We present a scheduler based on the Temporal.io workflow framework which enables two key optimizations of bioinformatics workflows. Firstly, we enable users to transparently map workflow steps to diverse…
