Abstract

Modern graphical processing units (GPUs) offer much more computational power than modern CPUs, so it is natural that GPUs are often used for solving many computationally-intensive problems. One of the tasks of huge importance in bioinformatics is sequence alignment. We investigate its variant introduced a few years ago in which some additional requirement on the alignment is given. As a result we propose a parallel version of Center-Star algorithm computing the constrained multiple sequence alignment at the GPU. The obtained speedup over the serial CPU relative is in range [20, 200].
