Bioinformatics and Computational Molecular Biology
Algorithms and Hardware
Two aspects of bioinformatics and computational molecular biology are being examined at Boise State University: the development of new or improved algorithms and the acceleration of algorithms in hardware. New or improved algorithm development includes algorithms for problems where solutions do not yet exist, improvements in the quality of results, and reductions in computational complexity. The acceleration of bioinformatics and computational molecular biology algorithms can take the form of better mappings of algorithms onto general-purpose computing hardware or the development of special-purpose hardware coprocessors using application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) or field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs).
