Reduction in runtime for the phylogenetic part of the algorithm. The execution time of the phylogenetic part of the algorithm is reduced proportionally to the number of cores. We used 40 divisions for the folding of 30 × 3000 nt, on a 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 threadpool. Here we are plotting the mean and standard deviation of 4 measurement points, scaled as a fraction of one-core runtime.
