We have developed an ultra-fast sequence similarity search tool named PZLAST on a MIMD processor PEZY-SC2. In this paper, we show the merit of MIMD features in reducing the load imbalance among the threads. They are also effective in the implementation of the alignment for long sequences. Additional...
