Fig. 2. Timeline of the TranSPHIRE pipeline.

Fig. 2

Timeline depicting the parallel execution of the processes of the TranSPHIRE pipeline. Timings are based on a Tc holotoxin data set consisting of 2053 micrographs, each containing 36 particles on average, collected at a speed of 188 micrographs per hour (K2 super-resolution, 40 frames). TranSPHIRE ran on-the-fly up to the creation of an ab initio 3D reconstruction using default settings. Important milestones are denoted in black: a first 2D class averages produced after 1.4 h; b end of the feedback loop after 7.3 h; c ab initio 3D reconstruction after 9.1 h; and d final 3D reconstruction of the first batch of particles after 15.5 h. Due to the internal scheduling of modern operating systems, and because not every TranSPHIRE thread is always working to capacity, the number of available CPUs (12/24 hyperthreading) and assigned TranSPHIRE threads (45) is not identical, and does not limit the speed of the computations.
