SWIPE is a tool for performing rapid local alignment searches in protein sequence databases. It is a highly optimized implementation of the Smith-Waterman algoritm using SIMD parallel computing technology available on common CPUs.
20120224 SWIPE version 2.0.1 released. Fixed bug in display of alignment coordinates in XML and TSV formats.
20120201 SWIPE version 2.0 released. This version incorporates a number of new features compared to the initial release, most notably hit statistics, alignments, as well as support for nucleotide sequences, large databases and MPI.
