Abstract

We develop novel single-GPU parallel algorithms for syntenic alignment using CUDA. Our algorithms can be used to determine the optimal alignment score as well as the actual optimal alignment for a single pair of sequences. Experimental results show that our best GPU alignment algorithm achieves a speedup of approximately 28 over the sequential algorithm.
