We present a modified GPU (graphics processing unit) version of MrBayes, called ta(MC)(3) (GPU MrBayes V3.1), for Bayesian phylogenetic inference on protein data sets. Our main contributions are 1) utilizing 64-bit variables, thereby enabling ta(MC)(3) to process larger data sets than MrBayes; and 2) to use Kahan summation to improve accuracy, convergence rates, and consequently runtime. Versus the current fastest software, we achieve a speedup of up to around 2.5 (and up to around 90 vs. serial MrBayes), and more on multi-GPU hardware. GPU MrBayes V3.1 is available from http://sourceforge.net/projects/mrbayes-gpu/.
我们展示了一个经过修改的 GPU(图形处理单元)版本的 MrBayes,称为 ta(MC)(3)(GPU MrBayes V3.1),用于对蛋白质数据集进行贝叶斯系统发育推断。我们的主要贡献是 1)利用 64 位变量,从而使 ta(MC)(3)能够处理比 MrBayes 更大的数据集;2)使用 Kahan 求和来提高准确性、收敛速度,从而提高运行时间。与当前最快的软件相比,我们的加速比最高可达 2.5 倍(与串行 MrBayes 相比最高可达 90 倍),在多 GPU 硬件上的加速比更高。GPU MrBayes V3.1 可从 http://sourceforge.net/projects/mrbayes-gpu/ 获取。
