Fig. 14From: Profiling the BLAST bioinformatics application for load balancing on high-performance computing clustersBLASTN runtime vs. multithreading for 4,096 nodes. BLASTN runtime on Type I nodes (z-axis) vs. database size (x-axis) and Query A size (y-axis). The four lines represent the runtimes with multithreading using one, two, four, and eight threads. Each line shows the possible runtimes of an HPC system with 4,096 Type I nodesBack to article page
