From: FASTAFS: file system virtualisation of random access compressed FASTA files
CPU consumption reading suffixes of the FASTA file. The x-axis shows the size of a requested suffix (tail-c) of GRCh38.p12.fasta virtualised with FASTAFS, piped through to /dev/null. The y-axis shows the number of CPU instructions by fastafs mount to virtualise the suffix of GRCh38.p12.fasta, as termined with perf stat. The number of CPU instructions needed to read the FASTA suffix through FASTAFS scales linearly and proportionally with the suffix size
