Accelerating the scoring module of mass spectrometry-based peptide identification using GPUs.BACKGROUND
 As a general purpose and high performance parallel hardware, graphics processing units (GPUs) are promising platforms for speeding up database searches in the protein identification process.


 We designed and implemented a parallel SDP-based scoring module on GPUs that exploits the efficient use of GPU registers, constant memory and shared memory.
