Acceleration device and method for gene similarity analysis and computer equipment

Abstract

The embodiments of the invention provide an acceleration device and method for gene similarity analysis and computer equipment. The acceleration device comprises: a high-speed communication interfacewhich is used for communicating with a host and receiving a to-be-accelerated task distributed by the host; a sequence caching module which is used for caching one or more tasks from a host, wherein each task comprises a plurality of gene sequence data to be subjected to gene similarity analysis; an array processor, which is provided with a processing unit for processing tasks, wherein the processing unit is internally provided with a complete assembly line for processing the tasks based on a data-driven streaming computing mode, and the assembly line is internally provided with a plurality offixed-point computing components required for processing the tasks; a control module, which is configured to be used for distributing the to-be-processed tasks in the sequence caching module to the processing unit; and a task caching module, which is provided with a task caching unit and is used for caching the to-be-processed tasks allocated to the processing unit. With the acceleration device and method in the invention, gene similarity analysis efficiency can be improved, and analysis results can be quickly obtained.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of biological gene data processing, in particular to an acceleration structure for graphical gene similarity algorithms, and more specifically to an acceleration device, method and computer equipment for gene similarity analysis. Background technique [0002] With the completion of the Human Genome Project, human beings have made unprecedented progress in understanding and mastering genetic information. At the same time, with the continuous development and improvement of genetic detection technology at the molecular level, gene sequencing technology has developed rapidly. High-throughput and low-cost sequencing technology has been widely used, and a large number of gene and protein data of different species have been accumulated. Facing the explosive growth of gene sequence data, how to analyze and interpret the useful information contained in gene sequences has become the key to current biological r...

Problems solved by technology

[0006] It can be seen that the limited number of computing cores in general-purpose processors limits the improvement of algorithm concurrency, making the complex Cache mechanism and branch control logic in general-purpose processors not only unable to exert corresponding effects, but also consumes a large amount of silicon chip area. high energy consumption
