Global Alignment in linear space
The backtracing algorithm requires the entire matrix to be saved
in memory. The space complexity consequently increases to O(nm).
Hirschberg [4] developed a more practical space-reduction method for
solving dynamic programming problems that reduces the required
space from O(nm) to O(m) (for m<n).
