Benchmarks, with their conditions attached.

A performance number without its sample, genome build, reference set and pipeline version is not a benchmark — it is a claim. This page will carry all four for every figure, and is empty until the first measured run.

What will be measured, and how.

Wall clock is measured end to end — from the start of analysis to delivered results — not as the sum of accelerated stages. Reporting only the fast parts is how a 30× component becomes a misleading 3× product claim.

Accuracy is measured as precision, recall and F1 against Genome in a Bottle truth sets, reported separately for single-nucleotide variants and for insertions and deletions, because their error profiles differ materially.

Cost per genome is all-in: compute at the instance pricing actually paid, storage amortised, data transfer, and any bitstream licence amortised per genome. A cost figure that omits the licence is not a cost figure.

The CPU baseline is stated alongside every speedup, with the instance type named, so the comparison can be checked rather than assumed.

Because the pipeline it would measure does not exist yet.

The FPGA execution plane is engineering Build Phase 3 and has not started. We could populate this table from a CPU reference implementation, but that would not represent the shipping product and would be misleading in the flattering direction. “Up to 30×” is AWS's general figure for FPGA acceleration; “under six hours” is our design target. Neither is a GenoAccel measurement and neither will be presented as one.
