DescriptionWe develop an algorithm as long as a CUDA code for GWAS
(Genome-Wide Associate Studies). This algorithm can work
efficiently on GPU and has high scalability. The core of
the algorithm is an accurate and fast p-value
integration reformation, which accelerates the most
time-consuming part of the algorithm. With the
algorithm, researchers can now deal with tens of
billions of SNP to trait pair in only a few minutes.
Even better, since this algorithm is highly scalable,
you can increase the problem size as long as you have
enough computing power.
