Correction to the Table 2 in SOAP3-dp's PLoS ONE manuscript:

[Version 2.3.177, Feb 17, 2014]
SOAP3-dp version 2.3.177:
If your machine is with nVidia CUDA SDK 4.2 installed, please visit Tutorial for a package with example data and shells showing you how to use SOAP3-dp. If your machine is with CUDA SDK 5.5 installed, please visit SourceForge to download the soap3-dp binaries matching your SDK version and substitute the original binaires "soap3-dp" in the tutorial with the downloaded version.
Amazon EC2 service currently has GPU instances (cg1.4xlarge) deployed in N. Virginia and Ireland. Every instance has two nVidia Tesla M2050 GPUs with 3GB graphic memory installed. To utilize both GPUs, users can invocate two soap3-dp process with parameter "-c 0" and "-c 1" respectively, and by setting "ShareIndex=1" option in "soap3-dp.ini" configuration file to share host memory between two processes if using the same copy of index. In order to facilitate Amazon users to deploy soap3-dp faster, please mount Public Snapshot ID: "snap-79ec4d78" in N. Virginia or "snap-3a712f25" in Ireland as a disk. The snapshot includes all necessary binaries and a tutorial to show you how to run SOAP3-dp in batch mode and "per Lane" mode.
The SOAP3-dp binary was compiled using AMI: amzn-ami-gpu-hvm-2012.09.0.x86_64-ebs (ami-02f54a6b). The AMI provides nVidia CUDA 4.2.

Mounting snapshot as a device (Lateset Snapshot ID: snap-79ec4d78):
SOAP3-dp, like its predecessor SOAP3, is a GPU-based software for aligning short reads to a reference sequence. It improves SOAP3 in terms of both speed and sensitivity by skillful exploitation of whole-genome indexing and dynamic programming on a GPU. SOAP3 is limited to find alignments with at most 4 mismatches, while SOAP3-dp can find alignments involving mismatches, INDELs, and small gaps. The number of reads aligned, especially for paired-end data, typically increases 5 to 10 percent from SOAP3 to SOAP3-dp. More interestingly, SOAP3-dp's alignment time is much shorter than SOAP3, as it is found that GPU-based dynamic programming when coupled with indexing can be much more efficient. For example, when aligning length-100 single-end reads with the human genome, SOAP3 typically requires tens of seconds per million reads, while SOAP3-dp takes only a few seconds.
The alignment program in this package is optimized to process data sets with multi-millions of short reads by using a multi-core CPU and a GPU concurrently. The hardware requirement and usage of SOAP3-dp is similar to that of SOAP3 (see next section for details). Roughly speaking, SOAP3-dp first aligns reads using SOAP3 with a small number of mismatches only; unaligned reads are further aligned using index-assisted dynamic programming (semi-global alignment with affine gap penalty). The default setting finds alignments with similarity down to 75%. Users can control the alignment similarity via five dynamic programming parameters in the .INI file (which correspond to the scores of a match, mismatch, gap opening and gap extension and the cutoff threshold; default: 1, -2, -3, -1, and 30 for read length 100). SOAP3-dp has an option to disable the dynamic programming, which will make SOAP3-dp to function exactly the same as SOAP3 (i.e., aligning with mismatches only).
