Presenting at SCExhibitor Forum

• Wednesday    11:30-12:00    Room C124
• Joe Hee (siXis Inc.)
• Smith Waterman Implemention for the SX2000 Reconfigurable Compute Platform


• The SX2000 Reconfigurable Computing Platform integrates 4 fully-interconnected compute nodes, each featuring an Altera Stratix IV EP4SGX230K FPGA with 2 Gbytes DDR3 memory, four QSFP high-speed serial ports, and a 1.5 GHz Freescale MPC8536E PowerQuicc III processor with 512 Mbytes DDR3 memory. Available bandwidth between compute node pairs is 20 Gbps. siXis and Stone Ridge Technology are working together to implement the Smith Waterman algorithm to the SX2000. Smith Waterman is a key algorithm used in the field of Bioinformatics to find exact optimal local alignments of two DNA or protein sequences. Projected performance using linear extrapolation of resource ratios is on the order 400 billion cell updates per second.
