Table 1.

Estimated single-processor computing time on the SGI Altix XE 1300 Linux cluster system with 2.66 GHz Intel Clovertown processor, and the total number of tests for two-locus and three-locus analysis.

Number of SNPs (N) Two-locus analysis Three-locus analysis
500,000 Computing time (T) T ≈ 1.2 years T ≈ 200,000 years
Number of tests (M) M = (1.25) 1011 M = (2.08) 1016
1,000,000 Computing time (T) T ≈ 5 years T ≈ 1.5 million years
Number of tests (M) M = (5.0) 1011 M = (1.67) 1017
