a–d, Performance with a dataset of 150,000 individuals, each with 15,000 to 200,000 genetic variants, when varying the number of database and computing nodes (database size of 28 billion genetic variants and a query with 10 items) (a), varying the size of the database (three nodes and a query with 10 items) (b), varying the number of query items (three nodes and a database of 28 billion genetic variants) (c) and varying the result size (three nodes, a database of 28 billion genetic variants and a query with 10 items) (d). The difference between the protected encrypted data and cleartext data is shown in parentheses for each data point (in seconds).
