- New! Version 0.6.1 is now out!
- New! 'samse' core now runs in CUDA mode.
- New! Improved pair-end infer-size calculation
- New! BWA 0.5.x compatible output option for use with BWA or tpx-patched multithreaded BWA samse or sampe cores
- New! Read groups are now supported
- New! Can now use a GTX580 (3GB)/ Tesla C2050 for mapping reads to the Human genome (using 1K genome project V37 reference)
- FM-index sequencing read mapper software using NVIDIA CUDA acceleration
- Outputs in SAM format for downstream analyses
- Much faster! Now 6 - 10X acceleration compared to 1 CPU core
- Requires NVIDIA graphics card with compute capability 1.3 or above and at least 768MB VRAM
- Requires NVIDIA CUDA SDK toolkit 4.0 and NVIDIA driver 280 or above
- GF100 Fermi Cards highly recommended
- BarraCUDA is now published on BMC Research Notes 2012, 5:27, doi:10.1186/1756-0500-5-27
