Abstract
Reconfigurable computing, in recent years, has been taking great strides in becoming part of mainstream computing largely due to the rapid growth in the size of FPGAs and their ability to adapt to certain complex applications efficiently. This dissertation investigates the reuse of application specific hardware developed for radio astronomy in accelerating a popular bioinformatics algorithm.
