Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology has become an indispensable tool for studying genomics, resulting in an exponentially growth of biological data. Booming data volume demands significant computational resources and creates challenges for 'Sequence Alignment', which is the most fundamental application in bioinformatics. Consequently, many researchers exploit both software and hardware methods to accelerate the most widely used sequence alignment algorithm - Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST). However, prior work suffers from moving huge DNA databases from the storage to computational units. Such data movement is both time and energy consuming.
