HPC-DEN, density from data; HPC-RIA, random initial assignment; R-KM, R-k-mean; R-SOM, R self organizing maps; Cluster v2, Cluster v3, k-means algorithm.

All values for the programs are the average time to completion in minutes and the standard deviation.

N = 12 for each. Bold items indicate significantly lower times within each column.
