Abstract

Biyolojik verilerin miktarının artmasıyla birlikte, bu verilerin etkin bir biçimde işlenebilmesi güçleşmiştir. Bu durum, biyoinformatik disiplinini ön plana çıkarmış ve ilgili araçların geliştirilmesine olan ihtiyacı artırmıştır. Yeni nesil dizileme tekniği ile üretilen büyük miktardaki verinin anlamlandırılabilmesi için hassas bir veri analizi süreci yürütülmelidir. Bu süreç içerisinde en yüksek maliyetli adım, hizalama adımıdır. Bu maliyeti azaltan en etkili tekniklerden birisi, grafik işlem biriminin kullanılmasıdır. Bu çalışmada; hizalama adımında CPU ile çalışan Burrows-Wheeler hizalayıcı ve GPU programlama versiyonu olan BarraCUDA araçlarının performansı, farklı veri setleri için hizalama oranları ve hesaplama zamanları açısından karşılaştırılmıştır. Çalışmada ayrıca, bu araçların toplam çalışma zamanlarının yanı sıra, hizalama alt adımlarının bir veya birden fazla GPU kullanıldığındaki çalışma zamanları da incelenmiştir. Her bir veri setinde kullanılan araçların hizalama oranlarında benzerlik görülmekle birlikte, GPU destekli BarraCUDA aracılığıyla farklı büyüklükteki verilerde zaman açısından önemli bir yarar sağlandığı görülmüştür. Sonuç olarak, hizalama adımında GPU kullanımı ile tek uçlu verilerde yaklaşık 5 kat, çift uçlu verilerde ise yaklaşık 9 kat hızlanma elde edilmiştir.

GPU Performance of Alignment Step in Next Generation Sequencing Analysis

Abstract

As the amount of biological data has increased, it has become difficult to process it effectively. This has brought the discipline of bioinformatics to the forefront and increased the need for the development of relevant tools. A sensitive data analysis process is required to make sense of this large amount of data produced by next generation sequencing technique. The most costly step in this process is the alignment step. One of the most effective techniques to reduce this cost is the use of a graphics processing unit. In this study, the performance of the CPU-based Burrows-Wheeler aligner and the GPU programming version BarraCUDA tools in the alignment step were compared in terms of alignment rates and computation times for different datasets. In the study, total runtime of these tools was also examined, as well as the runtime of the alignment sub-steps when using one or more GPUs. While there is a similarity in the alignment rates of the tools used in each data set, it has been observed that there is a significant time benefit in data of different sizes through GPU supported BarraCUDA. As a result, with the use of GPU in the alignment step, approximately 5 times acceleration was achieved in single-ended data and approximately 9 times in paired-ended data.
