Performance of a CodeQuest Workstation or DeCypher Enterprise node
with 1 or 2 SeqCruncher™ Accelerators installed.
Map 100,000 x 49-mers to the Arabidopsis genome: 2.1 minutes (Tera-BLASTN, exact-match settings)
Compare 100,000 ESTs to the Arabidopsis genome: 7 minutes (Tera-BLASTN)
Compare Human chromosome X to Y: 7 minutes (Tera-BLASTN)
Map 125,000 50-mers (direct & complement) to the Human genome with Smith-Waterman accuracy: 4 minutes (Tera-Probe™)
Compare 10,000 protein sequences to UniProt:
1 minute (Tera-BLASTP)
Compare 5000 sequences to Chromosome 22 with intron-tolerance: 1.7 hours (Double Affine Smith-Waterman)
Compare 1,000 GOS sequences to PFAM: 3 minutes (DeCypherHMM)
Compare 5,000 EST sequences to PFAM: 2 minutes, 11 seconds (DeCypherHMM)
Multi-node DeCypher systems scale to 10 servers and 20 SeqCruncher cards. As a performace guideline, doubling the accelerator count will deliver twice the system throughput.
