Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Computational simulation is a highly effective solution for cellular analyses in recent bioinformatics. As the scale of analysis objects are rapidly expanding, however, it is a prime task to develop a simulator with high throughput. ReCSiP, an FPGA-based biochemical simulator, is being exploited for this necessity. Further speed-up of the simulator is enhanced with an improvement of its pipelining efficiency, by a parallel operation of a rate-law solver module and a numerical integration module. This research report discusses the methodology of enhancing the performance of ReCSiP, its implementation and the evaluation result. Speed-up of 1.96x in maximum is achieved with an area increase of 29% compared to the conventional implementation.
