A CAM(Content Addressable Memory)-based architecture for molecular sequence matching
نویسنده
چکیده
The development of elegant matching procedures has significantly improved the search time of a query sequence in a database of molecular sequences. However the architectural limitations of conventional computers allow only one sequence access/retrieval from the database at a time. This paper presents a digital hardware-based solution for fast comparison of molecular sequences.

Sparse matrix multiplication is an important component of linear algebra computations. In this paper, an architecture based on Content Addressable Memory (CAM) and Resistive Content Addressable Memory (ReCAM) is proposed for accelerating sparse matrix by sparse vector and matrix multiplication in CSR format. Using functional simulation, we show that the proposed ReCAM-based accelerator exhibits...
متن کاملDesign and Power-Performance Optimization of A Low Leakage Serial CAM by using DTCMOS Technique and Transistor Stacks
The Content Addressable Memory (CAM) is a class of memory that allows access by data instead of by physical address. On a read access to a CAM, embedded into a processor cache, each word is compared in a broadcast mode, to see if it matches the requested data; thus requiring only one access. Due to their parallel pattern matching property, CAMs are gaining increasing importance over Random Acce...
متن کاملA Reconfigurable Content Addressable Memory
Content Addressable Memories or CAMs are popular parallel matching circuits. They provide the capability, in hardware, to search a table of data for a matching entry. This functionality is a high performance alternative to popular software-based searching schemes. CAMs are typically found in embedded circuitry where fast matching is essential. This paper presents a novel approach to CAM impleme...
