Genome wide association studies (GWAS) have proven their value, having found hundreds of thousands of associations between genetic variants and phenotypes. GWAS results can have many uses, two examples are identifying causal genes for diseases and aiding in drug development. With increasing dataset sizes, the need for greater computational capacity also increases. Linear and logistic regression models are used to test associations in GWAS. DeCODE genetics routinely needs to fit regression models numbering in the hundreds of billions. This thesis explores offloading compute heavy parts of two programs doing association analysis to GPUs. By optimizing key parts and changing the parallelization architecture used, we end up with multithreaded...
