Workflow comparison

Each benchmark should identify the dataset, configuration, comparison, and measurement method.

What it does

A speed or quality claim only means something next to the conditions it was measured under. Benchmarks collects CryoCloud's published results together with their basis: the dataset, how much of it was used, what the run produced and how long it took.

The aim is that you can judge whether a result applies to your own data, and check it yourself on the same public data.

How it works

Benchmarks are run on public datasets from EMPIAR, so anyone can download the same movies. For the GLP-1R receptor (EMPIAR-10673), 300 of the dataset's 5,739 movies were processed end to end on CryoCloud, from motion correction to a 3.54 Å map from about 55,000 particles, in 1 hour 37 minutes of wall-clock time across nine main jobs.

The same benchmark previously took 3 hours 17 minutes. The gain came from infrastructure updates and optimizations to the platform.

Results for individual algorithms are reported the same way. CryoCloud MotionCorr, for example, was measured at up to 5,000 movies per hour across three EMPIAR datasets, about four times faster than RELION's CPU motion correction.

Where it sits

Benchmarks are the evidence for everything else. They measure the algorithms, running on the infrastructure, through the same workflow you use.

The full method behind each result is written up on the CryoCloud blog.
