| Starting from version 1.11, ADCI is capable of GPU computing during sample processing, under the following conditions. | ADCI is capable of GPU computing during sample processing, under the following conditions. ADCI uses CUDA to perform general-purpose GPU computing. It requires a NVIDIA video card (GPU) with computing capability 2.0 or higher. |

| Users need to have a GPU license authorized by Cytognomix Inc. in addition to the normal license to use GPU in ADCI. This GPU license is stored in your dongle. | Users need to have a GPU license authorized by Cytognomix Inc. in addition to the normal license to use GPU in ADCI.

| In the GPU Settings Dialog, go to tab 'Permission and Settings'. In 'Users' GPU License', the 'GPU License' text box will say 'Authorized' if the attached dongle has a GPU license. Otherwise, it will say 'Unauthorized'. | In the GPU Settings Dialog, go to tab 'Permission and Settings'. In 'Users' GPU License', the 'GPU License' text box will say 'Authorized' if the attached dongle has a GPU license. Otherwise, it will say 'Unauthorized'. |

| Tab 'Info' shows queried information about GPUs on your computer. If your computer has compatible GPUs, they will be listed in the tab, along with their specifications. | Tab 'Info' shows queried information about GPUs on your computer.

| Tab 'Test' provides a way to run quick test in ADCI to compare the speeds when GPU is used and when GPU is not used. Users can test their GPU here if they have any concern before obtaining a GPU license from Cytognomix Inc. The test does not require a GPU license on users' dongle. | Tab 'Test' provides a quick test in ADCI to compare the speeds when GPU is used and when GPU is not used.

| Tab 'Permission and Settings' displays GPU configurations in ADCI, as well as whether a GPU license exists on the current dongle. It also has a checkbox for users to enable/disable GPU usage in ADCI. Enabling the checkbox will not enable GPU acceleration if no GPU license exists on the dongle. We suggest users keep GPU enabled unless they want to intentionally measure processing time without using GPU. | Tab 'Permission and Settings' displays GPU configurations in ADCI, as well as whether a GPU license exists on the current dongle.
