 ## What should my data look like?
 In order to perform brute-force statistical 3-way interaction tests on SNP data with kleEpistasis you will have to provide your genotype data in PLINK binary format and a phenotype in PLINK alternate phenotype format. Please see

 Depending on your CPU und Graphics Card, the GPU has to wait for the CPU to finish before copying the next results.
 To resolve this the task is split into chunks and processed by one thread each.
 We used an Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2630 v3 @ 2.40GHz combined with a NVIDIA Tesla K40 and 8 threads (`-threads 8`) without encountering wait time.
