abstract = "Methods of implementing biological (DNA or protein) sequence-compromise algorthms on the Intel iPSC/1 hypercube and the CM-1 microprocessor, machines which have very different architectures, are demonstrated. The CM-I is significantly faster when the sizes of the sequences to be compared are relatively large. However, the small memory for each of the CM-I processors prevents the storage of the necessary information for the traceback procedure. Consequently, the traceback must be performed in more than one pass. The Intel iPSC/1 hypercube, on the other hand, has more than enough storage for the traceback procedure, but is slower for larger size sequences because it has two orders of magnitude fewer processors han the CM-I. However, the Intel iPSC/2 hypercube is faster by a factor of four to five, and the CM-II has more memory.",
