Fig. 7From: ElasticBLAST: accelerating sequence search via cloud computingCluster size (top) and CPU utilization of the cluster (bottom) for an ElasticBLAST run with four instances. This is a screenshot of the GCP monitoring view for the cluster. The cluster has only one instance from 2:15 to 2:40 (top graph), allowing for the installation of software and databases. The bottom graph shows that the cluster has about 50% CPU utilization after 4:20, and the top graph shows the cluster size shrinking about 10Â min later. The CPU utilization at a given time is based on the size of the cluster at that point in timeBack to article page
