Abstract excerpt
Forward Wright-Fisher simulations are powerful in their ability to model complex demography and selection scenarios, but suffer from slow execution on the Central Processor Unit (CPU), thus limiting their usefulness. However, the single-locus Wright-Fisher forward algorithm is exceedingly parallelizable, with many steps that are so-called "embarrassingly parallel," consisting of a vast number of individual...
