Scaling. This graph shows the average throughput of three identical runs per point. The axes show throughput (reads per second) versus number of worker nodes. The numbers at each point describe the increase in throughput compared with running on a single node. Standard errors for each point in the graph: 0.67,2.72,3.39,1.49,0.99,1.06 (standard error bars are barely visible in the figure). Note how Tentacle displays a near perfect scaling with increasing computing resources. The measurements were performed with replicates of a metagenomic sample from [6]
