Handling Big Data Scalability in Biological Domain Using Parallel and Distributed Processing: A Case of Three Biological Semantic Similarity Measures

Table 23

Average time reduction obtained using Threaded SORA in a distributed system with input data divided by their similarity versus input data divided equally.

Number of Gene Pairs	Improvement Percentage (IP)
	2 Slaves	3 Slaves	4 Slaves
10	-20.07	-95.96	-98.26
100	-37.39	-49.06	-93.06
1000	7.48	-78.16	-90.61
10000	-81.91	-89.50	-90.28
100000	X	X	X
1000000	X	X	X
Average	-3.30E+01	-7.82E+01	-9.31E+01

X indicates that, due to limited memory, the system required many hours to find the similarity of some of the pairs.
