RAMBO can cut indexing times for huge DNA databases
Rice University computer scientists are sending RAMBO to rescue genomic researchers who sometimes wait days or weeks for search results from enormous DNA databases.
DNA sequencing is so popular, genomic datasets are doubling in size every two years, and the tools to search the data haven t kept pace. Researchers who compare DNA across genomes or study the evolution of organisms like the virus that causes COVID-19 often wait weeks for software to index large, metagenomic databases, which get bigger every month and are now measured in petabytes.
RAMBO, which is short for repeated and merged bloom filter, is a new method that can cut indexing times for such databases from weeks to hours and search times from hours to seconds. Rice University computer scientists presented RAMBO last week at the Association for Computing Machinery data science conference SIGMOD 2021.

HOUSTON (April 7, 2021) Rice University computer scientists have demonstrated artificial intelligence (AI) software that runs on commodity processors and trains deep neural networks 15 times faster than platforms based on graphics processors. The cost of training is the actual bottleneck in AI, said Anshumali Shrivastava, an assistant professor of computer science at Rice s Brown School of Engineering. Companies are spending millions of dollars a week just to train and fine-tune their AI workloads.
Shrivastava and collaborators from Rice and Intel will present research that addresses that bottleneck April 8 at the machine learning systems conference MLSys.
