Nowadays, we are to find out solutions to huge computing problems very rapidly. It brings the idea of parallel computing in which several machines or processors work cooperatively for computational tasks. In the past decades, there are a lot of variations in perceiving the importance of parallelism in computing…

In this paper, we advocate high-level programming methodology for next generation sequencers (NGS) alignment tools for both productivity and absolute performance. We analyse the problem of parallel alignment and review the parallelisation strategies of the most popular alignment tools, which can all be abstracted to a…

'Walter Rocchia'] The Poisson-Boltzmann equation models the electrostatic potential generated by fixed charges on a polarizable solute immersed in an ionic solution. This approach is often used in computational structural biology to estimate the electrostatic energetic component of the assembly of molecular biological…

Today, almost every computer has at least one multicore processor. To remain in stride with hardware developments, numerous university faculties oriented towards computer science have introduced parallel programming as an integral part of their courses. The question is, given the availability of parallel architectures…

Parallel computing divides calculations into smaller problems and solves these simultaneously, using multiple computing elements (hereafter “workers”). In the biological sciences, many computationally intensive problems are “embarrassingly parallel” , where almost all calculations can be completed in parallel. Common…

—Developers face a wide choice of programming languages and libraries supporting multicore computing. Ever more diverse paradigms for expressing parallelism and synchronization become available while their influence on usability and performance remains largely unclear. This paper describes an experiment comparing four…

Parallelization schemes are essential in order to exploit the full benefits of multi-core architectures, which have become widespread in recent years. In shared-memory architectures, the most comprehensive parallelization API is OpenMP. However, the introduction of correct and optimal OpenMP parallelization to…

Exploiting potential thread-level parallelism (TLP) is becoming the key factor to improving performance of programs on multicore or many-core systems. Among various kinds of parallel execution models, the software-based speculative parallel model has become a research focus due to its low cost, high efficiency…

We evaluate and compare four contemporary and emerging runtimes for high-performance computing (HPC) applications: Cilk, Charm++, ParalleX and AM++. We compare along three bases: programming model, execution model and the implementation on an underlying machine model. The comparison study includes a survey of each…

Compliance with good research data management practices means trust in the integrity of the data, and it is achievable by a full control of the data gathering process. In this work, we demonstrate tooling which bridges these two aspects, and illustrate its use in a case study of automated battery cycling. We…
