Abstract: A sequencing data analysis platform can process datasets that include a large number of sequence read. The reads are aligned to one or more reference genomes. Due to sequencing errors, sequencing noise, or genuine differences between a reference genome and the individual species being sequenced, this mapping process may tolerate a certain number of mismatches, insertions, or deletions. The sequencing data analysis platform provides a set of tools for analyzing and visualizing the sequence reads.

Abstract: The technology employs an iterative system of difference constraints (ISDC) approach that leverages low-level feedback from downstream tools to iteratively refine scheduling with respect to circuit design high-level synthesis. In each iteration, a number of subgraphs are extracted from an original computation graph and passed to selected downstream tools, e.g., for logic synthesis, placement and/or routing. The downstream tools' compilation results are extracted and fed back to a scheduler. With the feedback, the scheduler recalculates delay estimation between each pair of nodes in the original computation graph and prunes redundant scheduling constraints. As a result, the explorable design space is enlarged in the next iteration, leading to refined scheduling results. This feedback-guided approach is compatible with versatile design constraints and objectives, such as minimizing register usage given a targeted clock period, minimizing the clock period given a constrained area budget, etc.

A track is staged into the cache in response to a request for the track. A determination is made as to whether the request provides a demotion hint. The track is indicated in a transient cache list in response to determining that the request provides the demotion hint. The track is indicated in a prolonged cache list in response to determining that the request does not provide the demotion hint. The track is demoted from the cache in response to the request for the track comprising a read request, returning the track to the read request, and the track is indicated in the transient cache list.
