Limited early access — ROCm/HIP build based on minimap2
Experience minimap2 accelerated on AMD Instinct™ GPUs with ROCm™/HIP. This release preserves familiar minimap2 presets and outputs while accelerating compute-intensive pipeline stages, making it easy to evaluate GPU performance, compare against CPU baselines, and stress-test the evolving implementation.
Who is it for?
High-throughput sequencing centers, HPC bioinformatics teams, and tool developers looking for higher minimap2 throughput per node without changing established minimap2-based workflows.
What’s included?
Participants receive access to early builds of GPU-enabled minimap2, JSON-tunable GPU configuration, and optional staged tools — mm2_seed, mm2_chain, mm2_align — as standalone modular binaries with JSON stage outputs for debugging, benchmarking, and custom development.
Why sign up?
Limited seats: get early access, test your own datasets, and collaborate with AMD through a dedicated support channel for issues, performance tuning, and feature discussion. Your feedback shapes packaging, defaults, and the roadmap.
