omicsx: SIMD-accelerated sequence alignment and bioinformatics analysis for petabyte-scale genomic data
Documentation
//! AVX2 SIMD-accelerated alignment kernels for x86-64 architectures
//!
//! This module implements anti-diagonal parallelization of the Smith-Waterman algorithm
//! using AVX2 instructions. It processes multiple independent cells on the same
//! anti-diagonal in parallel, maximizing instruction-level parallelism (ILP).
//!
//! Key optimization: Process 8 parallel anti-diagonal cells using SIMD registers (i32x8).
//!
//! ## Implementation Strategy: Anti-Diagonal Approach
//!
//! **What are anti-diagonals?**
//! - Anti-diagonal k consists of all cells (i,j) where i+j = k
//! - All cells on the same anti-diagonal are independent of each other
//! - Cells only depend on values from the previous anti-diagonal
//! - Example: Anti-diagonal 5 = {(1,4), (2,3), (3,2), (4,1)}
//!
//! **Benefits over striped approach:**
//! 1. **True parallelism**: All cells on an anti-diagonal can be computed in parallel
//! 2. **Better ILP**: SIMD lanes work on independent data paths
//! 3. **Reduced memory pressure**: Linear scan through dependency matrix
//! 4. **Target speedup**: 4-8x over scalar for medium sequences
//!
//! ## Implementation Notes
//!
//! The anti-diagonal approach:
//! - Iterates through anti-diagonals k = 1 to m+n
//! - For each k, batches up to SIMD_WIDTH cells for parallel computation
//! - Uses compact dependency vectors (current and previous diagonals)
//! - Minimal memory allocation compared to full matrix storage
//!
//! ## Future Optimizations
//!
//! 1. **Banded DP**: When working with similar sequences, only compute O(k\*n) cells
//! 2. **Register optimization**: Unroll inner loop to maximize register usage
//! 3. **Prefetching**: Explicit cache prefetching for score matrix access
//! 4. **Thread parallelism**: Process multiple independent alignments per batch
