It sorts a given stack of cryo-EM particles into different classes that share the same view of a target protein. ISAC is based around iterations of alternating equal size k-means clustering and repeated 2D alignment routines.

-**ISAC2** is an improved version of ISACand the default tool to produce 2D class averages in the **[[http://sphire.mpg.de/wiki/doku.php?id=downloads:sphire_1_3|SPHIRE]]** ([[https://github.com/cryoem/eman2|git]]) software package and the **[[https://github.com/MPI-Dortmund/transphire|TranSPHIRE]]** automated pipeline for processing cryo-EM data. ISAC2 is a CPU-only implementation that is usually run on a computer cluster.+**ISAC2** is an improved version of ISAC and used by default tool to produce 2D class averages in the **[[http://sphire.mpg.de/wiki/doku.php?id=downloads:sphire_1_3|SPHIRE]]** ([[https://github.com/cryoem/eman2|git]]) software package and the **[[https://github.com/MPI-Dortmund/transphire|TranSPHIRE]]** automated pipeline for processing cryo-EM data. ISAC2 is a CPU-only implementation that was developed to run on a computer cluster.
  
 **GPU ISAC** is designed to run ISAC2 on a single workstation by outsourcing its computationally expensive calculations to any available GPUs. **GPU ISAC** is designed to run ISAC2 on a single workstation by outsourcing its computationally expensive calculations to any available GPUs.

-**Beta version:** The currently available version of GPU ISAC is a beta version. A significantly improved and significantly faster version is being tested right now and will be released shortly.+**Chimera Beta:** The previously distributed GPU ISAC "Chimera" Beta version is no longer supported and we recommend using the current version of GPU ISAC. You can still find the "Chimera" documentation [[https://sphire.mpg.de/wiki/doku.php?id=gpu_isac_chimera|here]], however.
