Although many sequential frequent itemset mining methods have been proposed, there is a clear limit to the performance that can be achieved using a single thread.
In terms of performance, the software generates 2,100 USRCAT moments/s on average using a single thread.
We note from Figure 16A,B,C,D that without parallelism, a speedup value of 1 is achieved for all multicore processors, since all are using a single thread only.
The results of these multiplications were then summed separately using a single thread, which paused the other threads, leading to less efficient GPU utilization and loading of the GPU.
Both runs used a single thread of execution.
Each analysis took 36 hr using a single thread of an Intel Xeon E5-2650 of 2.00 GHz.
BiForce was found to be about 30% faster than BOOST when using a single thread and 4 5-fold faster when using eight threads (Table 1).
For the preparation stage (including transcriptome partitioning and sig-mer selection), RNA-Skim takes ∼3 h to finish on the mouse transcriptome by using a single thread.
BiForce computed 505 000 pair-wise tests per second when using a single thread (2 380 714 using eight threads), whereas PLINK computed only 2990 pair-wise tests per second, i.e. a 168- and 796-fold speed increase using one and eight threads, respectively.
If using a single thread, always use an "s" pattern for strength.
