BarraCUDA Fast Short Read Aligner download

Barracuda is a high-speed sequence aligner based on Sanger's BWA and utilizes the latest Nvidia CUDA architecture for accelerating alignments of sequence reads generated by next-generation sequencers.

Features

Fixed problems with compiling the software in Ubuntu 16.04
Tweak: SAMPE 8-core limit is now lifted
FM-index sequencing read mapper software using NVIDIA CUDA acceleration
Outputs in SAM format for downstream analyses
Requires NVIDIA graphics card with compute capability 3.5 or above and at least 1GB VRAM
Requires NVIDIA CUDA SDK toolkit 6.x or above and NVIDIA driver 340 or above
