Table 2. Total computational time by hash algorithm and hashbits.

Hash algorithm
Statistic measured Adaptive MD5 SHA-1 First-N
Hash Time (s) 124.908 188.449 208.954 218.202
Extract Time (s) 200.554 197.254 196.82 218.334

This table shows the median total computational time, along with separate times to hash and extract anchors required by different hash algorithms when anchoring human and mouse X chromosomes. The final line shows the median number of hash keys used by each hash algorithm relative to the number used by the Adaptive hash algorithm.
