Abstract
An apparatus includes a set of hardware processors and a memory configured to store a sequence. The sequence includes a set of elements. Hardware processors are configured to implement a segment processing module, and an assignment module. The assignment module receives the sequence and assigns each element to at least one segment from a set of segments, including, when an element maps to at least a first segment and a second segment, assigning the element to both the first segment and the second segment. A segment processing module is configured to substantially simultaneously, for each segment from a set of segments specific to that one or more hardware processors, remove at least a portion of duplicate elements to generate a deduplicated segment. The segment processing module reorders the elements in the deduplicated segment to generate a realigned segment that has a reduced alignment errors.
