MetAlign 3.0: performance enhancement by efficient use of advances in computer hardware

A new, multi-threaded version of the GC–MS and LC–MS data processing software, metAlign, has been developed which is able to utilize multiple cores on one PC. This new version was tested using three different multi-core PCs with different operating systems. The performance of noise reduction, baseli...

description A new, multi-threaded version of the GC–MS and LC–MS data processing software, metAlign, has been developed which is able to utilize multiple cores on one PC. This new version was tested using three different multi-core PCs with different operating systems. The performance of noise reduction, baseline correction and peak-picking was 8–19 fold faster compared to the previous version on a single core machine from 2008. The alignment was 5–10 fold faster. Factors influencing the performance enhancement are discussed. Our observations show that performance scales with the increase in processor core numbers we currently see in consumer PC hardware development.
