ARCHER-LD uses GPUs to speed biobank-scale LD calculations
A bioRxiv preprint introduces ARCHER-LD, a multi-GPU tool for calculating linkage disequilibrium across very large sequencing datasets. The authors report speedups of about eightfold to 28-fold over PLINK in benchmark tests and complete a 10-quadrillion-element LD matrix in under six hours on 512 GPUs.
