Table 1 Estimated single-processor computing time on the SGI Altix XE 1300 Linux cluster system with 2.66 GHz Intel Clovertown processor, and the total number of tests for two-locus and three-locus analysis.
Number of SNPs (N) | Two-locus analysis | Three-locus analysis | |
|---|---|---|---|
500,000 | Computing time (T) | T ≈ 1.2 years | T ≈ 200,000 years |
Number of tests (M) | M = (1.25) 1011 | M = (2.08) 1016 | |
1,000,000 | Computing time (T) | T ≈ 5 years | T ≈ 1.5 million years |
Number of tests (M) | M = (5.0) 1011 | M = (1.67) 1017 |
