Gerbil | k-mer counting

Counts K-mer for k ≥ 32. Gerbil is the result of an intensive process of algorithm engineering. It loads genome reads from disk and redistributes it to temporary files. The tool counts the k-mers of each temporary file via a hash table approach and can optionally use GPUs to accelerate the counting step. It is able to efficiently support both small and large k. Gerbil outperforms its competitors for large k, while using significantly less resources.
