Benchmarking of SAMSA2 for resource use. a DIAMOND annotation time increases linearly as more input sequences are added, allowing the estimation of total annotation time. For this test, all files ran with 30 CPUs, each with 2 GB RAM. b Annotation speed relative to allocated memory: Higher RAM allocation allows DIAMOND to hold more of the reference databases in memory, speeding up pipeline annotation up to the point where the database is fully in memory; all files in this test contained 50,000 sequences each
