  • Publication number: 20180189444
    Abstract: A system, method and apparatus for executing a bioinformatics analysis on genetic sequence data is provided. Particularly, a genomics analysis platform for executing a sequence analysis pipeline is provided. The genomics analysis platform includes one or more of a first integrated circuit, where each first integrated circuit forms a central processing unit (CPU) that is responsive to one or more software algorithms that are configured to instruct the CPU to perform a first set of genomic processing steps of the sequence analysis pipeline.

  • Publication number: 20180181708
    Abstract: A system, method and apparatus for executing a bioinformatics analysis on genetic sequence data includes an integrated circuit formed of a set of hardwired digital logic circuits that are interconnected by physical electrical interconnects. One of the physical electrical interconnects forms an input to the integrated circuit that may be connected with an electronic data source for receiving reads of genomic data. The hardwired digital logic circuits may be arranged as a set of processing engines, each processing engine being formed of a subset of the hardwired digital logic circuits to perform one or more steps in the bioinformatics analysis on the reads of genomic data. Each subset of the hardwired digital logic circuits may be formed in a wired configuration to perform the one or more steps in the bioinformatics analysis.

  • Patent number: 9665664
    Abstract: Disclosed is a hybrid architecture combining DFA and NFA based engines. The DFA engine and NFA engine scan the same input stream. The DFA engine may be a multi-threaded engine. Fragments of rules are assigned to the DFA engine and portions of rules are assigned to the NFA engine. Fragments matched by the DFA engine may be sorted by a sorter into NFA launch positions before activating NFA states. A dynamically reconfigurable NFA cell array may be used. An NFA state signaled by a DFA fragment match is loaded into NFA cell(s). The DFA fragments may be adjacent to start state positions or following high-branching NFA states. Look-around assertions may be used by the DFA to signal to the NFA to either prevent or permit continued matching of a rule.
