Results on RNASim-VS. a) Placement accuracy with taxon sampling ranging from 500 to 200,000. b) The empirical cumulative distribution of the delta error, shown for 500 10,000 where EPA-ng can run. c,d) Running time and peak memory usage of placement methods for a single placement. Lines are fitted in the log–log scale and their slope (indicated on the figure) empirically estimates the polynomial degree of the asymptotic growth (
). APPLES lines are fitted to
5000 points because the first two values are small and irrelevant to asymptotic behavior. All calculations are on 8-core, 2.6GHz Intel Xeon CPUs (Sandy Bridge) with 64GB of memory, with each query placed independently and given 1 CPU core and the entire memory.
