EpiGPU: exhaustive pairwise epistasis scans parallelized on consumer level graphics cards
TL;DR: By partitioning the 2D search grid across the multicore architecture of a modern consumer graphics processing unit (GPU), a 92× increase in the speed of an exhaustive pairwise epistasis scan for a quantitative phenotype is reported, and the speed is expected to increase as graphics cards continue to improve.
