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

Table 24

Total 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	-15.78	-69.18
100	-38.13	-28.80	-3.77
1000	-22.94	1.69	-10.74
10000	-90.087	-91.41	-83.00
100000	X	X	X
1000000	X	X	X
Average	-42.80820245	-33.57	-41.67

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