Profiling of Bioinformatics Applications for Reconfigurable Computing
Bioinformatics applications have emerged as an important class of scientific computing applications and its future success depends on high-performance computers.Dne to the characteristics of bioinformatics applications,such as high level of Instruction Level Parallelism(ILP),they can benefit from the hardware flexibility of reconfigurable computing systems.In this paper,we investigate bioinformatics applications on the platform of a reconfigurabIe computing system that consists of a general purpose processor and a reconfigurable coprocessor.Our profling results identify the code blocks of bioinformatics applications(BioBench suite).These code blocks will be used as coarse-grained configuratiOns in the recOnngurable coprocessor of the reconfigurable computing system,The profiling results show the promising performance improvement potential of using reconfigurable coprocessor to execute these code blocks.To the best of our knowledge,this is one of the first such studies.
