Abstract
This paper presents a systolic filter for speeding up the
scan of DNA databases. The filter acts as a co-processor
which performs the more intensive computations occurring during
the process. Validation has been done on a based FPGA prototype
board tightly connected to a workstation and has shown
that the filter may boost the performances of the machine by a factor
ranging from 50 to 400 over current workstations.
