About:
BEAGLE is a high-performance library for phylogenetic inference, designed to accelerate likelihood calculations for evolutionary biology. It provides a unified backend that leverages hardware acceleration, including GPUs and SIMD instructions, to dramatically speed up tree and model evaluations. This enables researchers to analyze larger datasets and more complex models in significantly less time.
Key Features:
  • Hardware acceleration support (GPUs, CPUs)
  • Unified API for multiple inference platforms
  • Optimized for large datasets and complex models
  • Open-source and cross-platform
Use Cases:
  • Accelerating Bayesian phylogenetic inference
  • Large-scale maximum likelihood analysis
  • Computational evolutionary biology research
Alternatives:
  • PhyML – Provides built-in likelihood optimization but lacks BEAGLE's hardware acceleration and cross-platform API.
  • RAxML – A popular ML phylogeny tool that can use BEAGLE as a backend for GPU acceleration.
