Because of the large size of single cell RNA-Seq data sets and the computationally-intensive tools used in single cell analysis, we have amended our system requirements and recommendations for installations of Partek Flow with the Single Cell toolkit.

For fastest performance:
Newer generation CPU cores with avx2 or avx-512 are recommended.
Performance scales proportionality to the number of CPU cores available.
Hyper thread cores (threads) scales performance for most operations other than principal component analysis.
