Talal Bonny, et al., "An adaptive hybrid multiprocessor technique for bioinformatics sequence alignment." In 2010 5th cairo international biomedical engineering conference, 2010, 112. Sequence alignment algorithms such as the Smith-Waterman algorithm are among the most important applications in the development of bioinformatics. Sequence alignment algorithms must process large amounts of data which may take a long time. Here, we introduce our Adaptive Hybrid Multiprocessor technique to accelerate the implementation of the Smith-Waterman algorithm. Our technique utilizes both the graphics
