Abstract
AO_SCPLOWBSTRACTC_SCPLOWWe benchmarked AlphaSC, BioTurings GPU-accelerated single-cell analytics package, against other popular tools including Scanpy, Seurat, and RAPIDS. The results demonstrate that AlphaSC operates thousands of times faster than Seurat and Scanpy. Additionally, it surpasses RAPIDS, another GPU-accelerated package from NVIDIA, by an order of magnitude in terms of speed while also consuming considerably less RAM and GPU memory. Importantly, this significant increase in AlphaSCs performance does not compromise its quality. 1
