Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) We built a special-purpose computer for exploring similar bio-sequences by the dynamic programming method. It can compute a complete similarity between two protein or DNA sequences which have less than 10,000 characters. We integrated the system on two FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) chips, Vertex2 xc2v6000-4 (6 Mgates) by Xilinx. It is mounted on the 32 bit PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) bus board which is connected to a personal computer. The performance is 1,404,000 MIPS (Million Instructions Per Second) about 1,200 times faster than a personal computer with Pentium4 at 1.8 GHz. It showed us the effectiveness in the field of biological sequence analysis.
