Performance with different scoring systems. The speed in billion cell updates per second (GCUPS) (logarithmic scale) is shown for BLAST (red), BLAST+ (orange), SWIPE (black), and SSW (green), Parasail’s striped SW implementation using SSE4.1 (light blue) and AVX2 (dark blue) instruction sets, as well as libssa using SSE4.1 (purple) and AVX2 (gray), using different scoring systems. All combinations of scoring matrices and gap penalties accepted by BLAST were tested. The matrix name is indicated above each graph, while the open and extension gap penalties are indicated on the x-axis. The query sequence was P07327 and 24 threads were running. This figure corresponds to Figure 7 in Rognes [8]
