FPGA Acceleration of Sequence Alignment: A Survey :ablobcatbongo:
Genomics is changing our understanding of humans, evolution, diseases, and medicines to name but a few. As sequencing technology is developed collecting DNA sequences takes less time thereby generating more genetic data every day. Today the rate of generating genetic data is outpacing the rate of computation power growth. Current sequencing machines can sequence 50 humans genome per day; however, aligning the read sequences against a reference genome and assembling the genome will take 1300 CPU hours. The main step in constructing the genome is aligning the reads against a reference genome. Numerous accelerators have been proposed to accelerate the DNA alignment process. Providing massive parallelism, FPGA-based accelerators have shown great performance in accelerating DNA alignment algorithms. Additionally, FPGA-based accelerators provide better energy efficiency than general-purpose processors. In this survey, we intro- duce three main DNA alignment algorithms and FPGA- based implementation of these algorithms to accelerate the DNA alignment. We also, compare these three alignment categories and show how accelerators are developing during the time.
Why your website should be under 14kB in size
What is surprising is that a 14kB page can load much faster than a 15kB page — maybe 612ms faster — while the difference between a 15kB and a 16kB page is trivial. This is because of the TCP slow start algorithm.

I was expecting some opinionated takes like my very own, but wow. :ablobcatbongo:
I just got my Quansheng TK-11 in the mail today. Initial thoughts that aren’t covered in any unboxing videos:
There was a power adapter taped to the inner box. The charging dock has an Asian power plug. Fortunately, I can charge it via USB-C.
This isn’t as heavy as my Motorola XTS 1500, but this has enough heft to be used as a bludgeoning weapon.
I love the circular lanyard connector!
I hate how fragile the rubber port covers are.
The T-shaped antenna is meant for the LF/MF/HF bands, but it has “0.153-18 MHz” stamped on it, so you won’t need it for anything about 17 meters. Set it aside. The rubber duck is very long.
On that note, you do know this can only transmit FM, right? You read the website before clicking Buy, didn’t you? That limits you to 10 meters and up.
It can receive CW on 2200 meters. Fat lot of good that does when you can’t transmit that low.
If you had told me this is my UV-K5 with the Ezgumer firmware, I would have believed you. It’s virtually identical, down to the fonts and screen layout. The blue backlight is your only clue.
Dear lord, the CPS is awful. It’s perfectly cromulent, but it’s missing simple things like copy and paste. That means if you want to insert a channel, you need to edit every single one below that.
The radio can receive on 33 cm and maybe 23 cm, but the CPS won’t let you program frequencies above 600 MHz.
Someone opened a ticket with CHIRP to support this model. They’re working on it. GOOD!
No programming cable is included, but your Baofeng one works fine.
