Short Kmer Counting

Context

In genomics, k-mer counting is a prerequisite for many processing operations. In particular, it is used to construct de-Bruijn graphs for genome assembly, i.e. the reconstruction of genome texts from raw sequencing data. We targeted the counting small k-mers, which is well suited to an implementation on the PiM architecture. Significant speed-up factors are obtained compared to the state-of-the-art software (KMC3).
