Fig. 10From: Profiling the BLAST bioinformatics application for load balancing on high-performance computing clustersRuntimes of the five core functions vs. database size and query size. Runtimes of five core functions vs. database size (x-axis) and query size (y-axis) on Type V nodes using Query A. The surfaces of functions a and e are slightly domed, while those for functions b, c, and d are planes. Notice that for functions a, b, d, and e, the surface descends faster in the query dimension, indicating that reducing query size has a greater effect on runtimeBack to article page
