GPU vs FPGA: A Comparative Analysis for Non-standard Precision

Accelerated BLAST Performance with Tera-BLASTTM: a comparison of FPGA versus GPU and CPU BLAST implementations

A number of technologies have emerged for accelerating similarity search algorithms in bioinformatics, including the use of field programmable gate arrays (FPGA), graphics processing units (GPU), and clusters of standard multicore CPUs. Here we present Tera-BLASTTM, an FPGA-accelerated implementation of the BLAST algorithm, and compare the performance to GPU-accelerated BLAST and the industry s...

FPGA vs GPU Performance Comparison on the Implementation of FIR Filters

FIR filters find place in digital signal processing applications that require stopping a frequency band while passing another band or removing noise. Due to the complex structure and parallelism property of FIR filters, dedicated reconfigurable hardware are preferred for implementation rather than CPUs. Recently, GPGPU emerged as an effective technique for solving computation-intensive problems...

A Comparative Study on Instrumental Precision of Refrigerated and Non-Refrigerated Auto-Analyzers in Order to Improve Quality Assurance in Biochemistry Laboratory

Background and Objective: Quality control is one of the most important components in order to improve quality assurance in laboratories during analytical steps. For this purpose, coefficient of variation plays an important role. Due to the fast improvement in technology, application of inferential statistics for the comparisons ...

A High Throughput FPGA-Based Implementation of the Lanczos Method for the Symmetric Extremal Eigenvalue Problem

Iterative numerical algorithms with high memory bandwidth requirements but medium-size data sets (matrix size ∼ a few 100s) are highly appropriate for FPGA acceleration. This paper presents a streaming architecture comprising floating-point operators coupled with highbandwidth on-chip memories for the Lanczos method, an iterative algorithm for symmetric eigenvalues computation. We show the Lanc...
