Execution time of SCFG part on multicore machines. The execution time of the SCFG part of the algorithm is reduced proportionally to the number of cores for a sufficiently high number of divisions. We used 40 divisions for the folding of 30 × 3000 nt, on Intel(R) Xeon(R) E5420 CPU, 8 cores, 2.50 GHz, 32 GB RAM, and enabled different number of cores to be used by PPfold by varying the size of the thread pool. Here we are plotting the mean and standard deviation of 4 measurement points, scaled as a fraction of one-core runtime.
