Table 1.

Comparison of the running time of different flow cytometry clustering algorithms

	flowPeaks	Misty mountain	FLOCK	flowMeans	FLAME	flowMerge
Concave	0.13	0.59	6	6.2	1434	3202
Barcode	2.3	24.7	14	82.3	80 952	132 446

The running time is shown in wall-clock seconds on the same desktop computer except that FLOCK and FLAME were run, respectively, at immport (http://immport.niaid.nih.gov) and gene pattern websites (http:www.broadinstitute.org/cancer/software/genepattern)
