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.
