Quicksort is an important algorithm that uses the divide and conquer concept, and it can be run to solve any problem. The performance of the algorithm can be improved by implementing this algorithm in parallel. In this paper, the parallel sorting algorithm named the Multi-Deque Partition Dual-Deque Merge Sorting…

'Leonor Sirotti' 'Paul Paganiban' 'Firmin Martin' 'Michael McManus' 'Philippe Hupé'] Life science has entered the so-called 'big data era' where biologists, clinicians and bioinformaticians are overwhelmed with high-throughput sequencing data. While they offer new insights to decipher the genome structure they also…

Sorting can be approached in two main ways: sequentially and in parallel. In sequential sorting, data is processed in a single-threaded manner, which can be slow for large datasets. However, parallel sorting divides the task across multiple processing units, enabling faster results by processing data simultaneously.…

Background The de novo assembly of genomes and transcriptomes from short sequences is a challenging problem. Because of the high coverage needed to assemble short sequences as well as the overhead of modeling the assembly problem as a graph problem, the methods for short sequence assembly are often validated using data…

The way developers implement their algorithms and how these implementations behave on modern CPUs are governed by the design and organization of these. The vectorization units (SIMD) are among the few CPUs’ parts that can and must be explicitly controlled. In the HPC community, the x86 CPUs and their vectorization…

The scale of in vivo electrophysiology has expanded in recent years, with simultaneous recordings across thousands of electrodes now becoming routine. These advances have enabled a wide range of discoveries, but they also impose substantial computational demands. Spike sorting, the procedure that extracts spikes from…

Sorting neural voltages measured from a multichannel neural probe to extract the single unit activities of neuronal firing, especially in real-time, remains a significant technical challenge, largely due to the large amount of acquired data and the technical difficulties involved in processing and classifying these…

This paper presents a new, parallel implementation of clustering and demonstrates its utility in greatly speeding up the process of identifying homologous proteins. Clustering is a technique to reduce the number of comparison needed to find similar pairs in a set of n elements such as protein sequences. Precise…

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 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…

Motivated by load balance issues in parallel calculations of the phylogenetic likelihood function, we recently introduced an approximation algorithm for efficiently distributing partitioned alignment data to a given number of CPUs. The goal is to balance the accumulated number of sites per CPU, and, at the same time…
