Visualization of the scaling behavior of the sub-models of JCVI-syn3A [31]. The plot shows the correlation between the included number of non-essential uptake reactions, the number of resulting EFMs, and the run times. The sub-models are plotted on the x-axis and referred to by their number e.g. 00 refers to sm00. Y-axis 1 shows the number of calculated/predicted EFMs, y-axis 2 the required/predicted run time in days using 960 threads on the VSC. Both axes are in logarithmic scale. Full symbols (dots and squares) refer to measured run times and computed EFMs (sub-models sm00 to sm15). The corresponding equations for the non-logarithmic representation of the calculated results are y1=264629e0.6678x with R2=0.9997 and y2=3E-5e0.7508x with R2=0.9986. Empty symbols refer to estimated data (sub-models sm16 to sm22) with the assumption that the slopes for both curves remain the same over all sub-models. Sub-model sm00 refers to the smallest sub-model that includes none of the 22 non-essential uptake reactions and sm22 to the full model that includes all uptake reactions
