STAR alignment running time comparison with and without checkpoint. The running time is averaged over five runs. We performed our empirical experiments on two cloud platforms: AWS and Microsoft Azure. Both the Azure File Storage and the Amazon EBS represent network disks. We observe that our “hot-start” containers (orange and gray bars) provide a major reduction in execution time, especially on local disks.
