Benchmarking BarraCUDA on Epigenetic DNA and nVidia Pascal GPUs
Typically BarraCUDA uses CUDA graphics cards to map DNA reads to the human genome. Previously its software source code was genetically miproved for short paired end next generation sequences. On longer, 150 base paired end noisy Cambridge Epigsnetixs data, a Pascal GTX 1080 proc esses about 10000 strings per second, comparable with twin nVidia Tesla K40.
