Abstract :
Presents the Smith and Waterman algorithm-specific ASIC design (SWASAD) project. This is a hardware solution that implements the S and W algorithm.. The SWASAD is an improved implementation of the biological information signal processor (BISP) design. The SWASAD chip fabricated on a 0.5 μm process achieves 3200 million matrix cells per second (MCPS) per chip, with a layout size of 7.1 mm by 7.1 mm. This is a large improvement over existing designs and improves data throughput by using a smaller datawidth
