Abstract (AI)
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.
Key Findings
1
Alignment processing achieved a 5–10-fold speed improvement compared with the previous version.
2
MetAlign 3.0 introduces multithreaded processing for GC-MS and LC-MS data, utilizing multiple CPU cores on a single PC.
3
Noise reduction, baseline correction, and peak-picking became 8–19 times faster than the previous single-core version on a 2008 computer.
4
Observed speed improvements scaled with increasing processor core counts in contemporary consumer hardware.
5
Performance was evaluated on three multicore PCs running different operating systems.
