Role of LCS in Molecular biology • DNA sequences (genes) represented by four letters ACGT, corresponding to the four submolecules forming DNA • When biologists find a new sequences, they typically want to know what other sequences it is most similar to • One way of computing how similar (homologous) two sequences are is to find the length of their longest common subsequence
Role of LCS in Molecular biology • This is a simplification, since in the biological situation one would typically take into account not only the length of the LCS, but also i.e., how gaps occur when the LCS is embedded in the two original sequences. • An obvious measure for the closeness of two strings is to find the maximum number of identical symbols (preserving symbol order) • This by definition, is the longest common subsequence of the strings

Longest Common Subsequences • Formally, we compare two strings, X[1..m] and Y[1..n], which are elements of the set Σ*; here Σ denotes the input alphabet containing σ symbols • The LCS of strings X and Y, lcs(X,Y) is a common subsequences of maximal length • Special case of the edit distance problem • The distance between X and Y is defined as the minimal number of elementary operations needed to transform the source string X to the target string Y • In practical applications, operation are restricted to insertions, deletions and substitutions • For each operation, an application dependent cost is assigned
Longest Common Subsequences • LCS(X,Y) typically solved with the dynamic programming technique and filling an mxn table • Table elements acts as a vertices in a graph, and the simple dependencies between the table values defines the edges • The task is to find the longest path between the vertices in the upper left and lower right corner of the table

Folklore Algorithm • Foundation of most of the LCS algorithms • Given two strings, find the LCS common to both strings. • Example: • String 1: AGACTGAGGTA • String 2: ACTGAG • AGACTGAGGTA • - -ACTGAG - - - list of possible alignments • - -ACTGA - G- - • A- -CTGA - G- - • A- -CTGAG - - - • The time complexity of this algorithm is clearly O(nm);
Folklore Algorithm • Complexity does not depend on the sequences u and v themselves but only on their lengths • By choosing carefully the order of computing the d(i,j)'s one can execute the above algorithm in space O(n+m) • The bottleneck in efficient parallelization of LCS problem are the calculating the value of diagonal elements, as shown
Folklore Algorithm • As seen, the value of {i,j} depend upon the previous element {i-1,j-1}, when a match is found. • We may have more then one LCS for the same problem • In order to find the best LCS, we associate some parameter • The Smith-Waterman Algorithm uses the same concept that of Folklore algorithm, but gives us the optimal result (LCS)

Parallel Counterpart • Serial LCS algorithm runs in O(nm) time, where n is the length of the text string, and m is the length of pattern string • Efficient Parallel algorithm do exist to solve this computational extensive task • Some algorithm runs in O(max{n,m}) using O(min{n,m}) processors • O(logn) using O(mn/logn) processors • There are constant time algorithm for this LCS problem using the DP approach, using some assumptions
Computation Model • Various Network Models have been used to solve this LCS problem • PRAM model, Suffix Tree, 2D-Mesh Network, Mesh with Reconfigurable buses, Mesh with Multiple buses etc • Algorithm which runs in constant time, assume that most of the operation are done in constant time • In parallel version, one of the important task is to distribute data efficiently and easy manner

The ASC Processor • A scalable design implemented on a million gate Altera FPGA • SIMD-like architecture • Searches data by content instead of address • 8-bit Instruction Stream (IS) control unit with 8-bit Instruction and Data addresses, 32-bit instructions
The ASC Architecture • Each PE listens to the IS through the broadcast and reduction network • PEs can communicate amongst themselves using the PE Network • PE may either execute or ignore the microcode instruction broadcast by IS under the control of the Mask Stack
The ASC Features • Associative Search • Each PE can search its local memory for a key under the control of IS • Responder Resolution • A special circuit signals if ‘at least one’ record was found • Masked Operation • Local Mask Stacks can turn on or off the execution of instruction from IS
Communication between PE’s • In 2D mesh network, • Communication between P.E’s themselves take place in two different ways • By using the nearest neighbors mesh interconnection network • Powerful variation on the nearest-neighbor mesh called the “Coterie network”, developed in response to the requirement for nonlocal communication • Processors in a group share common properties and purpose, we call the group a coterie, and hence the name coterie network

Coteries[ Weems & Herbordt ] “A small often selected group of persons who associate with one another frequently” • Features: • Related to other Reconfigurable broadcast network • Describable using hypergraphs • And they are dynamic in nature • Advantages: • Propagation of information quickly over long distances at electrical speed • Support of one-to-many communication within coterie, reconfigurability of the coterie
Coterie Network • Provides method of performing operations on regions of an image in parallel • Used extensively for Matrix Arithmetic, FFT, Convex Hull Computation, Simulating a pyramid processors, General Permutation Routing and Parallel Prefix • Note that the coterie network is separate from the nearest-neighbor mesh, which we refer to as the SEWN network • Coterie network results in a new mode of parallelism that falls between SIMD and MIMD
PE’s form Coteries 5 x 5 coterie network with switches shown in “arbitrary” settings. Shaded areas denotes coterie (the set of PEs Sharing same circuit)
In the physical implementation, each PE controls set of switches Four of these switches control access in the different directions (N,S,E,W) Two switches H and V are used to emulated horizontal and vertical buses The two switches NE and NW are used to creation of eight way connected region Coteries Structure Coterie’s Physical Structure N NE NW V E W H WS ES S : Switch
Coterie Network • The isolated group of processors called coterie’s, have access only to the multicast within a coterie • When the switches are set, connected processors form a Coterie • The coterie network switches are set by loading the corresponding bits of the mesh control register in each P.E
Basic Coterie structure algorithm • The complexity is assumed to be O(1) unless otherwise stated • Transfer of data between two adjacent coteries • Symmetry breaking between a pair of nodes in a coterie • Two nodes within a coterie exchange information
