Speed up applications with best-in-class tools.

Use accelerated tooling for gold-standard germline, somatic, and RNA analysis, at speed.

Get up to 80X faster performance.

Experience up to 80X speedups over CPU-only solutions, reducing computing costs by up to 50 percent.

Improve accuracy in sequencing analysis.

Bring the power of deep learning to your genomic analysis with Clara Parabricks and GPUs.

Take advantage of flexible workflows.

Create customized workflows by configuring tools in Workflow Description Language (WDL) and NextFlow.

Accelerate Genomic Analysis From End to End

Use Gold-Standard Tools

Clara Parabricks provides GPU-accelerated versions of tools used every day by computational biologists and bioinformaticians—enabling significantly faster runtimes, workflow scalability, and lower compute costs.

The toolkit includes full compatibility with workflow languages and managers (WDL, NextFlow, Cromwell) to easily intertwine GPU- and CPU-powered tasks, as well as support for easy cloud deployment (AWS, GCP, Terra, and DNAnexus).

FASTQ to Binary Alignment Map (BAM) to VCF

Experience Unmatched Performance

From FastQ to Variant Call Format (VCF), Clara Parabricks accelerates runtimes across a series of hardware configurations with NVIDIA A100 Tensor Core GPUs. Genomic researchers can experience acceleration across every step of their analysis workflows, from alignment to sorting to variant calling. When more GPUs are used, a near-linear scaling in compute times is observed compared to CPU-only systems, allowing over 80X acceleration.

Analyze a Whole Human Genome at 30X Coverage in Less Than 30 Minutes

NVIDIA runtimes were achieved on an NVIDIA DGX™ A100 320GB system. All analyses were run on HG002 Genome In A Bottle (GIAB NIST) sequenced to 30X coverage, with variant calls made with GATKv4.1.0 HaplotypeCaller.
