!CALL FOR PAPERS: 4th Workshop on using Emerging Parallel Architectures (WEPA 2012)
http://www.staff.uni-mainz.de/schmi033/
!!held in conjunction with the [[International Conference on Computational Science (ICCS 2012)|http://www.iccs-meeting.org/]], Omaha, Nebraska, June 2 – 4, 2012

The computing landscape has undergone significant transformation with the emergence of more powerful processing elements such as ~GPUs, ~FPGAs, multi-cores, etc.  On the multi-core front, Moore’s Law has transcended beyond the single processor boundary with the prediction that the number of cores will double every 18 months.  Going forward, the primary method of gaining processor performance will be through parallelism. Multi-core technology has visibly penetrated the global market.  Accordingly to the latest Top500 lists the HPC landscape has evolved from supercomputer systems into large clusters of dual or quad-core processors. Furthermore, ~GPUs, ~FPGAs and multi-cores have been shown to be formidable computing alternatives, where certain classes of applications witness more than one order of magnitude improvement over their GPP counterpart.  Therefore, future computational science centers will employ resources such as FPGA and GPU architectures to serve as co-processors to offload appropriate compute-intensive portions of applications from the servers.  
This workshop provides a forum for exploring the capabilities of emerging parallel architectures to accelerate computational science applications. Papers are being sought on a wide variety of topics related to the field of using emerging parallel architectures for computational science including but not limited to:
*Application studies on emerging architectures such as ~GPUs, ~FPGAs and Intel MIC
*Parallel algorithms and methodologies on emerging architectures
*Languages, models, tools, and compilation techniques for emerging architectures 
*Hybrid computer systems consisting of a combination of ~GPUs, ~FPGAs, etc.
*Use of emerging architectures in clusters, grids and supercomputers

!Food Sequencing paper published in BMC Genomics
~DNA-based methods like PCR efficiently identify and quantify the taxon composition of complex biological materials, but are limited to detecting species targeted by the choice of the primer assay. We show here how untargeted deep sequencing of foodstuff total genomic DNA, followed by bioinformatic analysis of sequence reads, facilitates highly accurate identification of species from all kingdoms of life, at the same time enabling quantitative measurement of the main ingredients and detection of unanticipated food components.

!MUSKET short read error corrector accepted in Bioinformatics
Musket is an efficient multistage k-mer based corrector for Illumina short-read data. Our performance evaluation results, in terms of correction quality and de novo genome assembly measures, reveal that Musket is consistently one of the top performing correctors. In addition, Musket is multi-threaded using a master-slave model and demonstrates superior parallel scalability compared to all other evaluated correctors as well as a highly competitive overall execution time.

!~CUSHAW2 high-throughput long read aligner published in Bioinformatics (open access)
~CUSHAW2 is a paralell and accurate long read aligner for gapped alignments to large genomes, such as the human genome. We have evaluated and compared ~CUSHAW2 to the three other long read aligners ~BWA-SW, ~Bowtie2, and GASSST, by aligning simulated and real datasets to the human genome. The performance evaluation shows that ~CUSHAW2 is consistently among the highest-ranked aligners in terms of alignment quality for both single-end and paired-end alignment, while demonstrating highly competitive speed.

!~DySC Software for Greedy Clustering of 16S rRNA Reads published in Bioinformatics
Clustering of the 16S rRNA  reads is an important but time-consuming task. We present ~DySC, a new tool based on the greedy clustering approach which uses a dynamic seeding strategy. Evaluations based on the normalized mutual information criterion show that ~DySC produces higher quality clusters than UCLUST and ~CD-HIT at a shorter runtime.

!CUSHAW short read aligner published in Bioinformatics
CUSHAW has evolved into a software package designed for next-generation sequencing read alignment. This is the first version of the package, which only provides support for ungapped read alignment. It is a CUDA compatible short read aligner to large genomes based on the ~Burrows-Wheeler transform (BWT) and is programmed in CUDA C++  parallel programming language. Performance evaluation, using simulated as well as real short read datasets, reveals that CUSHAW running on one or two ~GPUs achieves significant speedups in terms of execution time, while yielding comparable or even better alignment quality for paired-end alignments, compared to three popular ~BWT-based aligners: Bowtie, BWA and ~SOAP2. This aligner does not support for gapped alignments.

!~CUDA-MI
~CUDA-MI accelerates MI (mutual information) estimation using the B-spline function. In order to exploit the GPU's capabilities to accelerate MI estimation, we have used the fast shared memory, fine-grained parallelism, and partitioning to implement our algorithm. Our implementation achieves speedups up to 82 compared to the multi-threaded MIBE on a modern Intel quad-core. We also have used the output of ~CUDA-MI to infer ~GRNs. Our experiments show that compared to ARACNE and ~TINGe, ~CUDA-MI can achieve better performance in terms of both runtime and inferred ~GRNs' quality.

!CUDASW++
CUDASW++ is a bio-informatics software for ~Smith-Waterman protein database searches that takes advantage of the massively parallel CUDA architecture of NVIDIA Tesla ~GPUs to perform sequence searches faster than NCBI BLAST. In this algorithm, we deeply explore the SIMT (Single Instruction, Multiple Thread) and virtualized SIMD (Single Instruction, Multiple Data) abstractions to achieve fast speed. This algorithm has been fully tested on Tesla C1060, Tesla C2050, ~GeForce GTX 280 and GTX 295 graphics cards, and has been incorporated to NVIDIA Tesla Bio Workbench. This algorithm is publicly available open-source software, complying with the GNU General Public License (GPL) version 3.

!~CUDA-MEME
~CUDA-MEME and mCUDA-MEME are motif discovery software based on the sequential MEME algorithm for a single GPU device and a GPU Cluster using the CUDA and MPI programming models. ~CUDA-MEME  supports the OOPS and ZOOPS models. This algorithm has been fully tested on a Tesla C1060 and a ~GeForce GTX 280 graphics card, and has been incorporated to NVIDIA Tesla Bio Workbench. mCUDA-MEME is an ultrafast scalable motif discovery algorithm based on MEME (version 4.4.0) algorithm for mutliple ~GPUs using a hybrid combination of CUDA, MPI and ~OpenMP parallel programming models. This algorithm is a further extension of ~CUDA-MEME with respect to accuracy and speed and has been tested on a GPU cluster with eight compute nodes and two Fermi-based Tesla S2050 (and Tesla-based Tesla S1070) quad-GPU computing systems, running the Linux OS with the ~MPICH2 library. The experimental results showed that our algorithm scales well with respect to both dataset sizes and the number of ~GPUs. ~CUDA-MEME is used in the [[CompleteMOTIFs|http://cmotifs.tchlab.org/]] developed by Harvard Medical School. ~CompleteMOTIFs is motif discovery platform developed to help biologists to find novel as well as known motifs in their peak datasets from transcription factor (TF) binding experiments such as ~ChIP-seq and ~ChIP-chip.

!~DecGPU
~DecGPU (Distributed Error Correction on ~GPUs) is the first parallel and distributed error correction algorithm for high-throughput short reads using CUDA and MPI parallel programming model. Using simulated and real datasets, our algorithm demonstrates superior performance, in terms of error correction quality and execution speed, to the existing error correction algorithms. The distributed feature of our algorithm makes it feasible and flexible for the error correction of large-scale datasets.

!~MSAProbs
~MSAProbs is a new and practical multiple alignment algorithm for protein sequences. The design of ~MSAProbs is based on a combination of pair hidden Markov models and partition functions to calculate posterior probabilities. Assessed using the popular benchmarks: ~BAliBASE, PREFAB, ~SABmark and OXBENCH, ~MSAProbs achieves statistically significant accuracy improvements over the existing top performing aligners, including ~ClustalW, MAFFT, MUSCLE, ~ProbCons and Probalign. Furthermore, ~MSAProbs is optimized for multi-core ~CPUs by employing a multi-threaded design, leading to a competitive execution time compared to other aligners. This algorithm is publicly available open-source software, complying with the GNU General Public License (GPL) version 3.
