FiltPIM: In-Memory Filter for DNA Sequencing
Abstract
Aligning the entire genome of an organism is a compute-intensive task. Pre-alignment filters substantially reduce computation complexity by filtering potential alignment locations. The base-count filter successfully removes over 68% of the potential locations through a histogram-based heuristic. This paper presents FiltPIM, an efficient design of the basecount filter that is based on memristive processing-in-memory. The in-memory design reduces CPU-to-memory data transfer and utilizes both intra-crossbar and inter-crossbar memristive stateful-logic parallelism. The reduction in data transfer and the efficient stateful-logic computation together improve filtering time by 100x compared to a CPU implementation of the filter.
