mm2-fast-v1.0

This release of mm2-fast is compatible with and achieves the same accuracy as minimap2 v2.24.
Moreover, the performance improvement vs minimap2 v2.24 is similar to what mm2-fast-v1.0pre1 gets vs. minimap2 v2.22.

Note: The output of mm2-fast is more accurate than the default settings of minimap2. So, with the default settings, the (more accurate) output of mm2-fast may mis-match with minimap2. For the accuracy verification, please follows the steps described in README - section: Accuracy evaluation.

mm2-fast-v1.0pre1

This is a pre-release version of mm2-fast compatible with minimap2 v2.22.

mm2-fast accelerates the 3 key modules of minimap2 as follows:

• Accelerated seeding module using learned-index based hash table.
• Accelerated dynamic programming based chaining module using AVX2/AVX512 vectorization.
• Accelerated alignment module using AVX2/AVX512 vectorization.
