Table 1.

Time and Cost of Running the Same 18 Injection Search-Only Workflow on Three Instance Types^a

	c5d.large	c5d.2xlarge	c5d.12xlarge
processors available	2	8	48
processors used	1	7	47
run rate ($/h)	0.22	0.84	5.08
search time (hours:minutes)	3:54	1:15	0:31
total workflow time (hours:minutes)	4:01	1:21	0:37
cost ($)	0.88	1.13	3.13

Each raw file is approximately 1.3 gigabytes and contains roughly 65 000 MS2 scans. The comparison of the large versus the 12× large c5 instance found that the higher performance is about three times more expensive but six times faster.
