Abstract
Sequence comparisons, a vital research tool in computational biology, is based on a simple O(n/sup 2/) algorithm that easily maps to a linear array of processors. This paper reviews and compares high-performance sequence analysis on general-purpose supercomputers and single-purpose, reconfigurable, and programmable co-processors. The difficulty of comparing hardware from published performance figures is also noted.
