Custom Computing for DNA Analysis of Third Generation Sequencers

该项目旨在创建一个领域特定计算系统来分析第三代DNA测序仪产生的数据。重要的是，这样一个系统将使原位分析成为可能，促进现代DNA技术更广泛的应用。预期的结果将是一个可移植的低功耗计算系统，包含自定义指令、自定义缓存配置和自定义架构。好处包括：在偏远地区和没有大型服务器和连接云服务器的高速网络的地方部署DNA分析技术；2. 更快的分析，实现快速反应，更便宜的便携式系统；, 3。培训一批研究和荣誉学生。

The project aims to create a Domain Specific Computing System to analyse data emerging from third-generation DNA sequencers. The significance is that such a system will enable in-situ analysis, facilitating far wider deployment of modern DNA technologies. The expected outcome will be a portable low-power computing system containing custom instructions, custom cache configurations, and custom architectures. Benefits include: 1. deployment of DNA analysis techniques in remote areas and in places without large servers and access to high-speed networks connecting to cloud servers; 2. quicker analysis enabling rapid response, cheaper, portable systems; and, 3. training for a cohort of research and honours students.
