Fig. 4: Extended experimental data regarding multithreading and memory consumption.
From: Genie: the first open-source ISO/IEC encoder for genomic data
a Ratio between single-threaded and multithreaded (8 threads) encoding/decoding times for item 01-1 (unaligned data) and item 9-2 (aligned data), respectively. b Median maximum memory usage for unaligned items (n = 57 items), normalized to the memory usage of gzip. Note that the scale is logarithmic because of the large difference in scale. The memory usage during compression (blue) is displayed as the left box and the memory usage during decompression (red) as the right box for each tool. c Median maximum memory usage for aligned items (n = 23 items), normalized to the memory usage of BAM. Whiskers in all panels show 1.5 times the interquartile range, boxes show quartiles 1–3, the center line shows the median.
