Table 1. Computation time for 100 thousand reads.
Program | #GPUs | Time (sec.) | Acceleration ratio |
GHOSTM | 1 | 2,855 | 129.5 |
GHOSTM | 4 | 909 | 406.7 |
BLAT | 9,898 | 37.3 | |
BLASTX (1 thread) | 369,678 | 1.0 | |
BLASTX (4 threads) | 102,255 | 3.6 |
The first, second, third, and fourth columns show the name of each program, the number of GPUs used for the calculation, the computation time, and the acceleration in processing speed relative to BLAST using 1 thread, respectively.
