I am honored and humbled to have received the best paper award HPCA 2021. Special thanks to all of our collaborators for their persistence and hard work in making this possible. Cheers 🙌

That unreal moment when Tanvir Ahmed Khan has an OSDI'21 paper accepted within a week of getting an ISCA'21 paper accepted! He is far more productive than me as a PhD student. I am truly humbled to work with these amazing people! I learn so much from my students.

At the age of 23, before she’d even earned her PhD, Carol Greider made the discovery that would earn her the 2009 medicine prize. Along with her supervisor and co-laureate Elizabeth Blackburn she discovered the enzyme telomerase. Today it's Greider's birthday - happy birthday!

Fuzzy set intersection based paired-end short-read alignment biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

a new algorithm for aligning both reads in a pair simultaneously by fuzzily intersecting the sets of candidate alignment locations for each read. SNAP with the fuzzy set intersection algorithm dominates BWA and Bowtie, having both better performance and better concordance.

Fuzzy set intersection avoids doing expensive evaluations of many candidate alignments that would eventually be dismissed because they are too far from any plausible alignments for the other end of the pair.

I'm hiring multiple PhD students for Fall'22 at CMU. My research bridges computer architecture & systems software to enable datacenter computing. If you're interested in related topics, come work with me! RTs appreciated! More info: akshithasriraman.com ece.cmu.edu/admissions/ind…

The SNAP short-read mapper is reaching 2.0. Another engineering feat full of smart ideas. Industry has some of the best developers I know in our field.

We're pleased to announce the release of SNAP v2.0. It includes many feature updates. microsoft.com/en-us/research… github.com/amplab/snap Arun Subramaniyan Ravi Pandya Matei Zaharia Taylor Sittler Heng Li Charles Chiu @BonfieldJames Microsoft Research #SNAP #Bioinformatics #ShortReads
