Performance Test

Test Data

Tested on 11 samples, including mouse brain and various human tumor samples. Each sample was tested with cellbin, bin20, bin50, and bin100 (if available).

Running Time and Memory Usage

  • The cellchat/cellphonedb algorithms use n_cpus to control the number of parallel threads, with n_cpus=8 used in this performance test.

  • Running time and memory requirements are positively correlated with the number of cells and genes, i.e., the larger the data scale, the higher the computation time and memory usage.

  • Running time: cellphonedb > cellchat

  • Memory: cellchat > cellphonedb
