Accelerating Genetic Sequence Alignment using CUDA compatible multi core GPU

This was my final year Research & Development individual project and From this research work I was used the massively parallel architecture of GPU as a parallel computing solution, for the improvement of one of the computationally intensive general purpose applications. With that concept I was able to improve dynamic programming based Global genetic Sequence Alignment algorithm with efficient use of heterogeneous memory hierarchy of GPU & CPU. For this research work, CUDA was used because it provides a parallel programming model and an instruction set architecture for Nvidia GPU with an extension of C language.

With this work we use two levels of implementations for Needleman-Wunsch Global sequence alignment algorithm. First implementation was based on global memory of GPU and the other one is based on the fast, on-chip, Shared memory of GPU. Use of shared memory improved the performance of the implementation with the blocking strategy for the Needleman-Wunsch algorithm.

How to install IBM WebSphere MQ on Ubuntu (Linux)

Following are the steps to install IBM WebSphere MQ version 8 on Ubuntu 14.04. 1) Create a user account with name "mqm" in Ubuntu. This should basically create a user called "mqm" and usergroup called "mqm" 2) Login to "mqm" user account and proceed with next steps 3) Increase the open file limit for the user "mqm" to "10240" or higher value. For this open "/etc/security/limits.conf" file and set the values as bellow. mqm hard nofile 10240 mqm soft nofile 10240 4) Increase the number of processes allowed for the user "mqm" to "4096" or higher value. For this open "/etc/security/limits.conf" file and set the values as bellow. You will need to edit this file as a sudo user. mqm hard nproc 4096 mqm soft nproc 4096 5) Install "RPM" on Ubuntu if you already don't have it. sudo apt-get install rpm ...

Beautiful Trincomalee : One of the stunning places to visit in Sri-Lanka

Recently my self and few of my friends traveled to the ancient city of Trncomalee which is situated in eastern province and lies on the east cost of the little island. In ancient times it was identified as Gokanna and it was one of the major see ports in the international trading history of Sri Lanka. The city is home to the famous ancient Koneswaram Temple and it is said that this is the capital city of king Ravana . This was my first travel to this ancient city and I would say that, it is one of the best places to visit in Sri Lanka. There are lot of places to visit there including Konesvaram Temple, Dutch Fort, Nilaveli Beach, Marble Beach and Pigeon Island . Nilaveli beach is considered to be one of the best beaches in Sri Lanka and Knee deep shallow seas spreads out hundreds of meters towards the sea. That provides ideal and pure conditions for sun bathing. Some of the pictures taken(by me and my friends) trough out the tour is listed bellow as a evidence to the stunning...

Creating a Simple Axis Service(.aar file) and Deploy it in WSO2 Application Server

In this post I am explaining how to Create a Simple Axis Service(.aar file) and Deploy it in WSO2 Application Server using a simple sample. And also at the end I am describing how to do the same thing with creation of a Jar Service. Lets assume "sample-home" as our parent directory and inside that we can create following folder structure. With this folder structure we can include our external libraries (jar files) inside lib folder and the "services.xml" file inside "META-INF" folder. Following is the sample services.xml definition which I used with this sample creation. < service name = "HelloService" > < Description > This is a sample service to explain simple aar service </ Description > < messageReceivers > < messageReceiver mep = "http://www.w3.org/2006/01/wsdl/in-out" class = "org.apache.axis2.rpc.receivers.RPCMessageReceiver" /> </ messageReceivers > < parame...
