<i>ScaleSC</i>: a superfast and scalable single-cell RNA-seq data analysis pipeline powered by GPU.

ABSTRACT:

Summary

The rise of large-scale single-cell RNA-seq data has introduced challenges in data processing due to its slow speed. Leveraging advancements in Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) computing ecosystems, such as CuPy and Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA), building on Scanpy and Rapids-singlecell package, we developed ScaleSC, a GPU-accelerated solution for large-scale single-cell data processing. ScaleSC delivers over a 20× speedup through GPU computing and significantly improves scalability, handling datasets of 10-20 million cells with over 1000 batches by overcoming the memory bottleneck on a single A100 card, which far surpasses Rapids-singlecell's capacity of processing only 1 million cells without multi-GPU support.
