Distributed Shared Memory systems allow the use of the shared memory programming paradigm in distributed architectures where no physically shared memory exist. Scope consistent software DSMs provide a relaxed memory model that reduces the coherence overhead by ensuring consistency only at synchronisation operations, on a per-lock basis. Sequence comparison is a basic operation in DNA sequencing projects, and most of sequence comparison methods used are based on heuristics, that are faster but do not produce optimal alignments. Recently, many organisms had their DNA entirely sequenced, and this reality presents the need for comparing long DNA sequences, which is a challenging task due to its high demands for computational power and memory. In this article, we present and evaluate a parallelisation strategy for implementing a sequence alignment algorithm for long sequences in a DSM system. Our results on an eight-machine cluster presented good speedups, showing that our parallelisation strategy and programming support were appropriate. |
