As I was writing the code for this website, I knew I would eventually want to try to implement a caching system. The "separate" pages are generated using only a couple templated themes, with the majority of the content coming from a MySQL database. That means every time someone loads a page, a PHP script asks my database which templates to load, as well as all of the text and urls for pictures or files. A caching system could potentially allow me to cut up to half of the processing time of generating any given page. My image watermarking protocol would only have to generate new versions of images if I update the actual image, instead of every time a user requests to see it. Faster content generation on the server would mean that as my site grows, I am able to offer more features without slowing down the pages. |

The Needleman-Wunsch Sequence Alignment algorithm uses a dynamic programming technique to attempt to align two genetic sequences. Scores are given for different combinations of DNA bases, with lower scores for better combinations. In order to align two sequences, sometimes a gap must be placed in one of the sequences, which results in a worse score. |
