[Bioc-devel] Participating in the development of Bioconductor

[Vincent Carey]

Hi Franck, thanks for writing.  I think it would be great to hear from
users about performance
concerns.  We would like to do more profiling and instrumentation of key
worksteps to help
increase throughput and ensure available compute resources are used.  In
the cuda/gpu
space we don't have anything touching

as far as I know and it would be interesting if you would have a look at
this and see whether
the is a clear path to some development integrating these approaches.

You might want to join our community slack for more interaction.
slack.bioconductor.org

Best regards
Vince Carey
