BioPIM Project

Funded by the @HorizonEU @EUeic to co-design algorithms and PIM technologies to accelerate bioinformatics applications and reduce energy requirements.

[BioPIM Project @ProjectBioPIM]

The BioPIM Project aims to leverage the emerging processing-in-memory (PIM) technologies to accelerate #bioinformatics applications while reducing energy requirements and enabling powerful edge computing in mobile devices.

We’re excited to share our new position paper from the BioPIM Consortium: "Processing-in-memory for genomics workloads", published online in IEEE Micro, and will be a part of the upcoming Special Issue on Data-Centric Computing. Thread below 🧵👇

[BioPIM Project @ProjectBioPIM]

Our focus? Hardware-software co-design.

We are optimizing: genomic data analysis algorithms using specialized data structures and multiple PIM architectures.

The goal: Unprecedented cost, energy, and time savings for life sciences.
