Description : Accelerated kernel library for genomics
GKL is an optimized versions of compute kernels used in genomics applications like GATK and HTSJDK. These kernels are optimized to run on Intel Architecture (AVX, AVX2, AVX-512, multicore, and FPGA) under 64-bit Linux and Mac OSX.
Kernels included:
PairHMM
AVX and AVX-512 optimized versions of PairHMM used in GATK HaplotypeCaller and MuTect2.
OpenMP support for multicore processors.
FPGA support for Intel PAC and select vendor cards.
Smith-Waterman
AVX2 and AVX-512 optimized versions of Smith-Waterman used in GATK HaplotypeCaller and MuTect2.
DEFLATE Compression/Decompression:
Performance optimized Level 1 and 2 compression and decompression from Intel's ISA-L library.
Performance optimized Level 3 through 9 compression from Intel's Open Source Technology Center zlib library.
