Abstract
Recent years have witnessed an increasing interest in the processing-in-memory (PIM) paradigm in computing due to its promise to improve the performance through the reduction of energy-hungry and long-latency memory accesses. Joined with the explosion of data to be processed, produced in genomics-particularly genome sequencing-PIM has become a potential promising candidate for accelerating genomics applications since they do not scale up well in conventional von Neumann systems. In this article, we present an in-memory accelerator architecture for DNA read alignment. This architecture outperforms corresponding software implementation by >49X and >18 000X, in terms of throughput and energy efficiency, respectively, even under conservative assumptions.
