Comparison between the mean computation times of one single alignment on the PS3 Cell Processor and a MPI-parallelised solution on an Opteron performed on the example datasets. Speedup (sp) compares each platform solution to the single-core solution on the Opteron. The average speedup of the PS3 Cell is 3.98 compared to the single-core Opteron, 1.99 compared to dual-core Opteron and 0.99 to quad-core Opteron solution.
