Abstract
The most prevalent algorithm for DNA sequence matching is the BLAST algorithm. We have developed several FPGA-based architectures to speed up BLAST execution. In this work we present a new VLSI architecture as a followup to our reconfigurable logic-based architectures, and we compare the performance of several software and hardware implementations of BLAST.
